WCF REST CONFIGURATION FILE

Now the basic CRUD operations are mapped to the HTTP protocols in the following manner:
  • GET: This maps to the R(Retrieve) part of the CRUD operation. This will be used to retrieve the required data (representation of data) from the remote resource.
  • POST: This maps to the U(Update) part of the CRUD operation. This protocol will update the current representation of the data on the remote server.
  • PUT: This maps to the C(Create) part of the CRUD operation. This will create a new entry for the current data that is being sent to the server.
  • DELETE: This maps to the D(Delete) part of the CRUD operation. This will delete the specified data from the remote server.
