You can do those with GET/PUT/POST/DELETE, I believe.

"Create" can be done in one of two ways; if the agent doing the creating
knows the URI, then you can use PUT.  If it doesn't know the URI, and
wants the server to return one, it can POST the data to some container
and then will receive a 201 response with the URI indicated in the
Location header.

"Load" is probably just GET.

"Save" would be PUT, since presumably you know the URI of what it is
you're saving - otherwise use POST as above.

"Update" - is this different than save?

"Remove" would be DELETE.
