What HTTP methods have you worked with in REST?

Worked with the main methods:

  • GET: To request data from the server. Does not change the resource state. Used to retrieve information.
  • POST: To create a new resource on the server or send data for processing. Changes the resource state.
  • PUT: For complete updating of an existing resource. If the resource does not exist, it can be created.
  • DELETE: To delete a resource on the server.
  • PATCH: For partial updating of an existing resource. Modifies only specified fields.
  • HEAD: Similar to GET, but only returns response headers without the body. Used to check resource existence or retrieve metadata.
  • OPTIONS: To get information about available communication options for the target resource. Used to determine supported methods or CORS headers.

When testing REST API, I use these methods to verify the correct behavior of the system when performing various operations on resources.
