In this post, let’s look at some of the differences between the GET and POST requests. The GET request is used to retrieve data from the server-side web resource. The POST request is used to modify and update the web resource.<\/p>\n
Some of the differences between the GET and POST methods of the HTTP protocol are as follows:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
GET method<\/strong><\/td>\n| POST method<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | GET is an idempotent method that means get() cannot modify the server state and data. The get() method request goes to the server & if the requested data is available then the data is sent back to the browser.<\/td>\n | POST is NOT an idempotent method. POST can modify the server state and the data available on the server.<\/p>\n | <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Theoretically, HTTP specification doesn’t impose any limitation but most browsers limit the GET request.<\/td>\n | \u00a0The HTTP specification doesn’t impose a specific size limit for the POST method. We can transfer huge amounts of data at a time from the browser to the server using the POST method.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | The GET method is not secure.<\/p>\n | It can append the data from the URL whenever a request is submitted. So, if any confidential data is entered in the form then its also got displayed in the address bar.<\/td>\n POST method is a secured method.<\/p>\n | It does not append the form data in the address bar.POST method uses the body to send the data.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n The GET does not provide file uploading.<\/td>\n | POST method supports file upload.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | GET requests can be bookmarked in the browser.<\/td>\n | POST requests cannot be bookmarked in the browser.<\/p>\n | <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Overview In this post, let’s look at some of the differences between the GET and POST requests.
