Express Routing methods

Express supports the following routing methods corresponding to the HTTP methods of the same names:

checkout copy delete get head lock merge mkactivity mkcol move m-search notify options patch post purge put report search subscribe trace unlock unsubscribe

The API documentation has explicit entries only for the most popular HTTP methods app.get(), app.post(), app.put(), and app.delete(). However, the other methods listed above work in exactly the same way.
