Difference between creating azure function using HTTP triggers/generic webhooks?

Question

I have created azure functions with "HTTP trigger" and "generic Webhooks" with Visual studio 2017.The only difference I found that both "triggers" can be triggered by HTTP request.

both functions have "HttpTrigger" as parameter. so I am confused when should we use one over the other as both triggers allows us to run small piece of code in cloud.

How Is it different from one another ?

Answer 1

An HttpTriggered function can respond to any HTTP verb you configure. However, a webhook only responds to POST and expects the payload to be JSON.

This restricts requests to only those using HTTP POST and with the application/json content type.
