Answer from AI
Main HTTP methods (verbs) used in REST API:
- GET — retrieve a resource or list of resources. Safe and idempotent.
- POST — create a new resource or perform an operation. Not idempotent.
- PUT — complete update of a resource. Idempotent.
- PATCH — partial update of a resource. Usually not idempotent.
- DELETE — delete a resource. Idempotent.
- HEAD — get resource headers without the body.
- OPTIONS — get supported methods for a resource.
These methods allow building standardized and predictable RESTful services.
