Definition
CRUD stands for Create, Read, Update, and Delete — the four basic operations for managing data in databases and APIs. In REST APIs: POST = Create, GET = Read, PUT/PATCH = Update, DELETE = Delete. In SQL: INSERT, SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE. CRUD operations form the backbone of most web applications. 'CRUD app' often refers to a straightforward data management application.
