Another consideration - GET URLs can be bookmarked. POST URLs cannot.
So, for instance, if you're displaying a restaurant from a list, GET
would be good so the user could bookmark it. But if you're adding data
to a database, you wouldn't want them to add it every time they visit
the page so you'd want to use POST.
