Difference between two types of jQuery AJAX call with type:'GET' and type:'POST'?

Question

I have seen different types of jQuery AJAX call with type:'GET' and type:'POST' with PHP Mysqli Programming but i have doubt :-

So when and Where we used these two different type , i mean in which scenario we are use type:'GET' and type:'POST' with PHP Mysqli like these:-

Is there any technical difference between both of them?

type:"GET"

$.ajax({
    type:"GET",
    url:"action.php",
    data:{key:val},
    success:function(data){
        alert(data);
   }
});

type:"POST"

$.ajax({
    type:"POST",
    url:"action.php",
    data:{key:val},
    success:function(data){
        alert(data);
   }
});

There's a lot of information about GET vs POST request, as it's one of the oldest topics on the internet: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_httpmethods.asp

In general, for security reasons, it's always better to use POST over the GET.

In AJAX requests difference is the same.

Use Inspector in your browser and navigate to Network tab, to validate that:

@KUMAR, the rules are the same for common form and AJAX, the difference is between methods how they are sent to the server. – biesior Jul 14 '20 at 12:37

@KUMAR, use inspector tools, you'll see they behave the same as within GET/POST form. – biesior Jul 14 '20 at 13:21
