GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE are the four HTTP methods most often used to implement CRUD operations, read, create, update, and delete, in a REST API. RFC 9110, the current HTTP Semantics specification, formally defines eight standard request methods, and these four cover the basic operations a REST client performs against a resource.
