POST vs PATCH in API Development

POST creates. PATCH updates. Simple. But most devs still confuse them 👇 → POST /users = New resource → PATCH /users/123 = Only change what's needed Don't replace the whole object when you only need to fix one field. That's what PATCH is for. Work smarter. Build cleaner APIs. 🔥 ♻️ Save this. 💬 POST or PATCH — which do you reach for first? #RestAPI #Java #BackendDev #SpringBoot #Programming
