CRUD

CRUD

Create, Read, Update, Delete.

CRUD is a design paradigm commonly used by restful web services and storage devices. It defines the four basic functions that the web service or storage device need to provide:

Create

Create new entries.

Depending on the context, "Create" may be referred to as "Add" or "Insert".

In SQL this would be "insert".

For a web request this would be "POST".

Read

Read an existing entry.

Depending on the context, "Read" may be referred to as "Get", "Search", "View", "Retrieve" or "Select".

In SQL this would be "select".

For a web request this would be "GET".

Update

Update an existing entry, changing something about it.

Depending on the context, "Update" may also be referred to as "Edit" or "Modify".

In SQL this would be "update".

For a web request this would be "PUT".

Delete

Delete removes an existing entry.

Depending on the context, "Delete" may also be referred to as "Destroy", "Remove", "Erase" or "Deactivate".

In SQL this would be "delete".

For a web request this would be "DELETE".
