GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, HEAD, OPTIONS, TRACE.
| Method | Description | Safe | Idempotent |
|---|---|---|---|
| GET | Request a resource. | Yes | Yes |
| POST | Send data for processing, often results in creating a new resource. | No | No |
| PUT | Update or create a resource at the specified URI. | No | Yes |
| DELETE | Delete a resource. | No | Yes |
| PATCH | Partially update a resource. | No | No |
| HEAD | Get only response headers, similar to GET. | Yes | Yes |
| OPTIONS | Get information about server or resource capabilities. | Yes | Yes |
| TRACE | Debugging, echo request to the server (rarely used for security reasons). | Yes | Yes |
Safe means the request does not change the server state. Idempotent means that executing the request multiple times will produce the same result as executing it once (regardless of the number of repetitions).
