I have a Spring-Boot application and want to trigger an update method via an endpoint in my Controller class. I can´t decide wheather to use a PUT or POST. On the one hand updating my application via this endpoint sounds for me like a POST but in the other hand it will be a simple call without sending any data, which sounds for me like a GET.

CodePudding user response：

GET methods should be be idempotent and (usually) have no side effects. That makes an empty POST a better option.

Update is PUT, Post is send data, Get is get Data, delete is delete data, in update you must specified na unique like sample id to update the data
