Difference between put and post in rest web services

Answer 1

PUT vs. POST in REST. In other words,POST is used to create. The PUTmethod requests that the enclosed entity be stored under the supplied Request-URI . If the Request-URI refers to an already existing resource, the enclosed entity SHOULD be considered as a modified version of the one residing on the origin server.

Answer 2

Answer:

The fundamental difference between the POST and PUT requests is reflected in the different meaning of the Request-URI. The URI in a POST request identifies the resource that will handle the enclosed entity... In contrast, the URI in a PUT request identifies the entity enclosed with the request.
