POST Requests - Rest APIs In Depth

Let's learn about how the POST HTTP method works in the context of a REST API.

We start with an overview of what a POST request is and how it related to our API. Then we get in to how we would use a POST request to create a new resource using our API in Deno.

We go through parsing out different body types as well as how we'll eventually want to deal with data validation issues such as missing or malformed data in the body of the POST request.

To wrap up the video we look at other request body encoding types such as url-encoding and multipart form-data as well. This sets us up to POST non-text data such as binary files which we will look at in the exercises together.
