A POST request is used to send data securely to the server.
Unlike GET, POST does not display data in the URL.
To send a POST request, the request type must be set to POST.
When using POST, the content type must be defined before sending data.
Data is sent inside the send method in key-value format.
After the server processes the data, a response is returned to the browser.
POST requests are commonly used for login, registration, form submission, and data insertion.
POST method is safer and preferred for sending sensitive information.
