ExpressJS - HTTP Methods
The HTTP method is supplied in the request and specifies the operation that the client has requested. The following table lists the most used HTTP methods −
| S.No. | Method & Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | GET The GET method requests a representation of the specified resource. Requests using GET should only retrieve data and should have no other effect. |
| 2 | POST The POST method requests that the server accept the data enclosed in the request as a new object/entity of the resource identified by the URI. |
| 3 | PUT The PUT method requests that the server accept the data enclosed in the request as a modification to existing object identified by the URI. If it does not exist then the PUT method should create one. |
| 4 | DELETE The DELETE method requests that the server delete the specified resource. |
These are the most common HTTP methods. To learn more about the methods, visit http://www.tutorialspoint.com/http/http_methods.htm.
