Which HTTP status code indicates No Content?

Which HTTP status code indicates No Content?

• A. 200 OK
• B. 404 Not Found
• C. 201 Created
• D. 204 No Content

Answer: (D)

No Content signals a successful request but no response body is returned. It’s used when the server has fulfilled the request and there’s nothing to send back, such as after a successful update or delete where you don’t need to provide the updated resource. The other options imply content in different ways: 200 OK means the response includes a body with data; 201 Created indicates a new resource was created and typically includes information about that resource; 404 Not Found means the requested resource can’t be located. So 204 No Content is the exact code that represents a successful operation with no content in the body.
