Can you explain what the HTTP GET method means and what it is used for when working with web resources?

The HTTP GET method is used to request data from a web server. It is intended for retrieving information without changing the state of the resource on the server.

Main features of GET:

• GET requests are safe and idempotent (do not modify data).
• Request parameters are passed in the URL (e.g., ?id=123).
• Usually used for retrieving pages, images, API data.

Example of a GET request:

GET /api/users?id=123 HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com

This request asks the server to return information about the user with id=123.
