HTTP methods

HTTP methods are like instructions your browser sends to a website to perform specific actions. For example, GET requests ask a server to send back a webpage or data; POST requests send data to the server, like filling out a form. PUT updates existing data, DELETE removes data, and OPTIONS checks what actions are available. These methods enable smooth communication between your browser and websites, allowing you to view pages, submit information, update content, or delete data efficiently. Each method has a specific purpose to ensure precise and secure interactions online.
