Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm (model/standard) based on the concept of “objects”, which can contain data, in the form of attributes / properties ), and code in the form of functions/procedures ( known as methods).
Objects are the main key/tool/means of OOP. We will try to explain this through example.
Nice answer on stackoverflow to the question of when to use one or the other content-types for POSTing data, viz. application/x-www-form-urlencoded and multipart/form-data.
“The moral of the story is, if you have binary (non-alphanumeric) data (or a significantly sized payload) to transmit, use multipart/form-data. Otherwise, use application/x-www-form-urlencoded.”
Matt Bridges' answer in full:
The MIME types you mention are the two Content-Type headers for HTTP POST requests that user-agents (browsers) must support. The purpose of both of those types of requests is to send a list of name/value pairs to the server. Depending on the type and amount of data being transmitted, one of the methods will be more efficient than the other. To understand why, you have to look at what each is doing
| // An array that contains data (array of objects) | |
| // to be stored in the localStorage | |
| const score = [ | |
| { name: 'Anna', score: 4120 }, | |
| { name: 'Bob', score: 1245 }, | |
| { name: 'Sarah', score: 5699 }, | |
| { name: 'Marc', score: 3452 }, | |
| ]; | |
