Can you explain what the HTTP POST method means?

The HTTP POST method is used to send data to the server to create or update a resource. Unlike GET, which requests data, POST transmits information in the request body, such as form data or JSON. The server processes this data and usually returns the result of the operation.

Example of using POST 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 status 201 Created and information about the created resource.
