HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE directly correspond to common CRUD operations in Web APIs. GET retrieves data, POST creates new data, PUT updates existing data, and DELETE removes data. This correlation simplifies the interaction with Web APIs and helps developers understand the purpose of each request method.
