Question

Accepted Answer

GET is used to request data from a specified resource, while POST is used to submit data to be processed to a specified resource.

GET requests data from a specified resource, and should only be used for retrieving data.
POST submits data to be processed to a specified resource, and can be used for creating or updating data.
GET requests can be cached and bookmarked, while POST requests are not cached and cannot be bookmarked.
GET requests have length restrictions on the amount of data that can be sent, while POST requests have no such restrictions.
GET requests should not be used for sensitive data, as the data is visible in the URL, while POST requests keep data hidden in the request body.
