GET and POST are two commonly used HTTP request methods for sending data to a server.

When using GET, the requested data is appended to the URL in the form of query parameters. If the user refreshes the browser or clicks the "Back" button, the URL parameters are not sent again, as the browser caches the results.

In contrast, POST sends data in the body of the HTTP request. If the user refreshes the browser or clicks the "Back" button after a POST request, the browser may warn that the form data must be resent.

In terms of data type, GET is limited to ASCII characters, making it suitable for small amounts of text data. POST, on the other hand, can send binary data in addition to ASCII characters.

The data length of GET requests is restricted to the maximum length of the URL, which is typically around 2,048 characters. This limitation can be problematic for sending large amounts of data. POST requests have no such limitation and can send data of any length.
