The 2xx (Successful) class of HTTP status code indicates that the client’s request was successfully received, understood, and accepted.
The HTTP Status Code 200 OK represents that the request has been successfully processed on the server.
Some of the HTTP request methods are:
- GET: The resource has been retrieved and is being sent in the body of the message.
- HEAD: Without a message body, the representation headers are included in the response.
- POST: The resource describing the action’s outcome is sent in the message body.
- TRACE: The request message as received by the server is contained in the message body.
The successful outcome of a PUT or DELETE is frequently a 204 No Content rather than a 200 OK (or a 201 Created when the resource is uploaded for the first time).

200 OKAlthough an origin server may produce a payload body of zero length or an empty payload, a 200 response always contains a payload. If the server does not transmit any payload in response, HTTP status 204 (No Content) should be sent instead. The header and payload of a 200 (OK) response are cacheable by default. If caching is to be disabled, the response must include the cache’s appropriate cache headers.
The response payload depends on the HTTP method which was selected for the request.
