What is the difference between a GET request and a POST request?

In addition to GET requests passing parameters in the URL and POST requests in the request body, another important difference is that GET requests are considered idempotent and safe, meaning they should not change the server's state and can be cached by browsers and proxies. POST requests, on the other hand, are typically used for operations that change state (such as creating or updating data) and are not cached by default.

Also, GET requests have limitations on URL length (depending on the browser and server), so they are not suitable for transmitting large amounts of data, whereas POST can transmit large volumes in the request body.
