1. GET Method vs POST Method

Comparison Factor GET Method POST Method
Data Location Appended to URL query string (?q=neet&page=1). Packaged securely in HTTP request body.
Data Visibility Visible in address bar and server access logs. Completely hidden from URL bar.
Payload Size Limited (approx. 2048 characters depending on browser). No protocol limit; supports large uploads (MBs/GBs).
Idempotency Idempotent: Safe to re-fetch and cache. Non-idempotent: Resubmission may trigger duplicate actions.
Best Used For Search filters, public pagination, catalog queries. Login, password changes, payments, exam submissions.
