PUT: Imagine you're replacing the entire contents of a document. With PUT, you send the complete updated version of the data to the server. It's like rewriting the whole document. PATCH: This is like editing specific parts of a document. You only send the changes you want to make, leaving the rest untouched. Example: Let's say you have a user profile with information like name, email, and phone number. PUT: If you want to update the entire profile with new data for all fields (name, email, phone), you'd use PUT and send the complete new user information. PATCH: If you only want to change the user's email address, you'd use PATCH and send just the updated email information. Here's the key difference: PUT: Replaces the entire resource. PATCH: Updates specific parts of a resource.
