HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) methods, ya HTTP request methods, client aur server ke beech communication mein istemal hone wale commands hote hain. Har request method ek specific action ko represent karta hai. Yahan kuch pramukh HTTP methods hain:
1. GET: Server se data retrieve karne ke liye istemal hota hai. Typically, information ko server se fetch karne ke liye use hota hai.
2. POST: Server ko data bhejne ke liye istemal hota hai. Aksar forms submit karne ya data ko server par store karne ke liye use hota hai.
3. PUT: Resource ko update karne ke liye istemal hota hai. Existing resource ko completely replace karne ke liye use hota hai.
4. DELETE: Server par maujood resource ko delete karne ke liye istemal hota hai.
5. PATCH: Resource ko partial update karne ke liye istemal hota hai. PUT ke mukable, PATCH mein sirf wo data bheja jata hai jo update karna hai.
6. HEAD: GET request ke tarah hota hai, lekin server sirf headers bhejta hai, actual data nahi.
7. OPTIONS: Server par kis tarah ke requests ko support kiya jata hai, wo jaanne ke liye istemal hota hai.
8. TRACE: Server par ek request ki trail ko retrieve karne ke liye istemal hota hai. Debugging purposes ke liye use hota hai.
In methods ke istemal se web applications mein communication hoti hai aur ye batati hain ki client kis tarah ke action ko server se expect kar raha hai.
