Http Verbs in MVC 5
 

HTTP Verbs

 
HTTP provides methods (verbs) for the actions performed on a response. HTTP verbs are used on an action method. HTTP provides the following main verbs.
  • Get
  • Post
  • Put
  • Delete

HTTP Get

 
This verb is used to get existing data from the database. In HttpGet, data travels in the URL only. To use the HttpGet method, we use HttpGet attribute on the Action method. It is also the default HTTP verb.
 
Example
 
domain.com/student/GetStudent/1
domain.com/student/GetStudent?studentid=1
  1. [HttpGet]  
  2. public object GetStudent(int studentid)  
  3. {  
  4.    // code here  
  5. }  

HTTP Post

 
This verb is used while we have to create a new resource in the database. In HttpPost, data travels in the URL and body. To use HttpPost method, we use HttpPost attribute on the Action method.
 
Example
 
domain/student/Studentsave
Body - Json body 
  1. [HttpPost]  
  2. public object Studentsave(studentclass obj)  
  3. {  
  4. }  

HTTP Put

 
This verb is used while we have to update an existing resource in the database. In HttpPut, the data travels in the URL and body. To use HttpPut method, we use HttpPut attribute on the Action method.
 
Example
 
domain.com/student/studentupdate/1
Body- Json body 
  1. [HttpPut]  
  2. public object Studentupdate(int studentid ,Studentclass objVM)  
  3. {  
  4. }  

HTTP Delete

 
This verb is used while we have to delete the existing resources in the database. In HttpDelete, data travels in the URL and body. To use HttpDelete, we use HttpDelete attribute on the Action method. 
 
Example
 
domain.com/student/studentdelete/1
  1. [HttpDelete]    
  2. public object Studentupdate(int studentid)    
  3. {    
  4. }
