1. All the name value pairs are submitted as a query string in URL. it means The GET method creates a query string and appends it to the script's URL on the server that handles the request.
2. It's not secured as it is visible in plain text format in the Location bar of the web browser.
3. Length of the URL string is restricted upto 255 character
4. this is the default method used. if you not mention in Form Tag.
5. If get method is used and if the page is refreshed it would not prompt before the request is submitted again.
