Definitions

  1. To make a new resource, object, record, file, or instance exist in a system. In APIs and databases, create usually refers to the operation that inserts new data rather than reading, updating, or deleting existing data.

    In plain English: To add a new item or resource to a system.

    Example: "The endpoint validates the request first and then creates the account only after the email address passes uniqueness checks."
