ExpressJS - HTTP Methods

Advertisements

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.howcodex.com/http/http_methods.htm.
