Difference between HTTP GET and Post request

HTTP GET and POST are two different request methods used in HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) to interact with web servers:

HTTP GET:_

1. Used to retrieve data from a server.
2. Sends data in the URL query string.
3. Limited data size (around 2000 characters).
4. Data is visible in the URL.
5. Can be cached by the browser.
6. Should not be used for sensitive data.
7. Idempotent (making multiple requests has the same effect as making one).

HTTP POST:

1. Used to send data to a server for processing.
2. Sends data in the request body.
3. No data size limit.
4. Data is not visible in the URL.
5. Not cached by the browser.
6. Should be used for sensitive data.
7. Not idempotent (making multiple requests can have different effects).

When to use each:

- Use GET for:
- Retrieving data.
- Fetching resources.
- Simple queries.

- Use POST for:
- Creating new resources.
- Updating existing resources.
- Sending sensitive data.
- Complex queries.

Remember:

- GET is for retrieving data, while POST is for sending data.
- GET has size limitations and data visibility, while POST does not.
- GET is idempotent, while POST is not.
