    The document compares the GET and POST HTTP request methods. GET requests can only transfer a limited amount of data in the URL, are not secure as data is exposed in the URL, and can be bookmarked. In contrast, POST requests can transfer large amounts of data in the request body, are more secure as data is not in the URL, and cannot be bookmarked. GET requests are more efficient and commonly used than POST requests.
