HTTP POST requests supply additional data from the client (browser) to the server in the message body. In contrast, GET requests include all required data in the URL. Forms in HTML can use either method by specifying method="POST"or method="GET" (default) in the <form> element. The method specified determines how form data is submitted to the server. When the method is GET, all form data is encoded into the URL, appended to the action URL as query string parameters. With the POST, form data appears within the message body of the HTTP request.

Get is used to retrieve data and it is simple but have length restrictions and expose data in url so it cant be used as secure request.

 

Post can hide data from URL and can take multi forms.

  The Post: - Keep confidential information (values of variables) so that encrypted show in the title of the page and also this does not mean that there is complete secrecy in the use of post so can also know the value of variables passed .. As for the Get: If you'll get used notes  that the value the variables in the browser address unsecured And also advantages of get it allows to send larger size Information
