In the context of web development and HTTP protocol, a GET is a request method used to retrieve data or resources from a web server. When a client (such as a web browser) sends a GET request to a server, it specifies a URL and the server responds with the requested data or resource in the response message body. GET requests are considered idempotent, meaning they should not have any side effects or modify server resources, and can be cached by browsers and proxy servers.
