What are the HTTP Methods?

HTTP Methods are also known as HTTP Verbs. They form a major portion of uniform interface restriction followed by the REST that specifies what action has to be followed to get the requested resource. Below are some examples of HTTP Methods:

• GET: This is used for fetching details from the server and is basically a read-only operation.
• POST: This method is used for the creation of new resources on the server.
• PUT: This method is used to update the old/existing resource on the server or to replace the resource.
• DELETE: This method is used to delete the resource on the server.
• PATCH: This is used for modifying the resource on the server.
• OPTIONS: This fetches the list of supported options of resources present on the server
