CRUD

Create - POST Read - GET Update - PUT Delete - DELETE

For update you want to use httpput. On controller side you want the method to start with Put.

Thanks. Does this mean that with GET methd I can't do any update or insert operation?

Technically you can but it is considered bad practice. HTTP GET calls should be idempotent and typically read only. In the case of a failed call httpget could be called multiple times and result in undesirable behavior.

@MukilDeepthi According to REST design principles you should use "GET" method for retrieving the data. I would recommend follow goods design practices.

Correct GET should only be used for data retrieval.
