How do different types of methods in REST API differ from each other?

In REST API, the main HTTP methods are used to perform different operations on resources:

• GET — retrieve data from the server. Does not change the state of the resource.
• POST — create a new resource or perform an operation that changes the server's state.
• PUT — complete update of an existing resource. Replaces the entire resource.
• PATCH — partial update of a resource, changing only specified fields.
• DELETE — delete a resource.

Each method corresponds to a specific semantics and helps build a clear and standardized API.
