What can we do with the POST method?

The POST method in HTTP is used to send data to the server, typically for creating new resources or performing actions that change the server's state.

For example, when registering a user on a website, form data (name, email, password) is sent via POST to the server, which creates a new record in the database.

Example request to create a new user:

POST /users HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "name": "Ivan",
  "email": "ivan@example.com"
}

The server may respond with a confirmation of resource creation with its identifier.
