Express GET and POST Requests

Aim

To handle GET and POST requests using Express.js.

GET Request

GET is generally used to request data from a server.

app.get("/get", (req, res) => {
    res.send("GET request received");
});
    

POST Request

POST is generally used to send data to a server.

app.post("/post", (req, res) => {
    res.send("POST request received");
});
    

Complete Code

const express = require("express");

const app = express();

app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true }));

app.get("/get", (req, res) => {
    res.send("GET request received");
});

app.post("/post", (req, res) => {
    res.send("POST request received");
});
