title: Is there any performance difference when using different HTTP methods?
body: <p>I know how HTTP methods work and for what they are designed, but I'm curious to know if some methods are faster than others when using just to get data.<br>
  In the team I'm working on I noticed a lot of JQuery ajax requests like this below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$.ajax({url: "../dir/someFile.json", method: 'post', dataType: 'json',
      error: function(...){ ... },
      success: function(...){ ... }       
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'd obviously use a 'get' method, as no data is sent to this request. This probably happened when a teammate was copying and pasting code. This works fine also, <strong>seems</strong> there's no good reason for changing it to 'get'.</p>
  
  <p>I think using 'get' method would be faster in this case, but I didn't find any source affirming that.</p>
