Answer / uttam thakor
The method attribute specifies the HTTP method to use when
sending the request. If unspecified, then the value of
?GET?, (default) is assumed, unless the submission of
multipart/form-data is encountered, in which case the
implied method will be ?POST?.
GET form contents are passed as part of the URL, as a QUERY
STRING.
POST form contents are passed to the script as an input file
As a result, much more form data can be passed, since you
can't run into the limit on the length of a URL or the
length of a command line or command line argument on the
server.

Answer / waqas
GET
GET is small and can be sent quickly
a lot of devices - such as mobile devices can send get
requests easily and thus GET is excellent for REST
apis(webservice)
GET can be used with POST
GET can be Bookmarked in a browser
GET method is default method
We have to encode URL if we
POST
For sending secure information POST is prefered
GET url can be copied and pasted in a messenger - and your
friend will see the same page - this is impossible to do
with post
We can pass unlimited data by this method as query string
