Express.js | HTTP Methods

Hello folks! Welcome back to a new edition of our tutorial on ExpressJS. In this tutorial, we will be studying about ExpressJS HTTP Methods.

HTTP method is provided in the request and it specifies the operation that the client has requested. Following table below is a list of the most used HTTP methods -

S.No.	Method & Description
1	GET The GET method requests a representation of the specified resource. Requests using GET should only retrieve data and should have no other effect.
2	POST The POST method requests that the server accept the data enclosed in the request as a new object/entity of the resource identified by the URI.
3	PUT The PUT method requests that the server accept the data enclosed in the request as a modification to existing object identified by the URI. If it does not exist then the PUT method should create one.
4	DELETE The DELETE method requests that the server delete the specified resource.

These are the most used HTTP methods. To learn more about these methods, kindly visit our tutorials on HTTP Methods.
