<h2 class="text-2xl font-semibold mb-4">GET Requests</h2>
<p class="mb-4">
GET requests are used to retrieve data from a server. They are the most common type of HTTP request and are used when you want to fetch information.
</p>
<h3 class="text-xl font-semibold mb-2">Key Characteristics:</h3>
<ul class="list-disc pl-6 space-y-2 mb-4">
<li>Data is sent in the URL as query parameters</li>
<li>No request body</li>
<li>Can be cached</li>
<li>Should be idempotent (same request = same result)</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="text-xl font-semibold mb-2">Example GET Request:</h3>
<pre><code>GET https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1
Accept: application/json</code></pre>

<h2 class="text-2xl font-semibold mb-4">POST Requests</h2>
<p class="mb-4">
POST requests are used to send data to a server to create a new resource. They are commonly used when submitting forms or creating new records.

<h3 class="text-xl font-semibold mb-2">Key Characteristics:</h3>
<ul class="list-disc pl-6 space-y-2 mb-4">
<li>Data is sent in the request body</li>
<li>Not idempotent (same request can create multiple resources)</li>
<li>Cannot be cached</li>
<li>Should return 201 Created on success</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="text-xl font-semibold mb-2">Example POST Request:</h3>
<pre><code>POST https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts
Content-Type: application/json

"title": "New Post",
"body": "This is a new post",
