   using System.Collections.Generic;
   using System.Linq;
   using System.Text;

   namespace CreateListItem
   {
    class Program
    {
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
    string siteUrl = "http://servername:2525/";
    ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl);
    List oList = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("DemoList");
    ListItemCreationInformation listCreationInformation = new ListItemCreationInformation();
    ListItem oListItem = oList.AddItem(listCreationInformation);
    oListItem["Title"] = "Add item in SharePoint List using CSOM";
    oListItem.Update();
    clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
    }
    }

<script type="text/javascript">
//The status parameter is a string which can be for example success or error. Finally in the ready event of the document, we'll hook up the click event of the button so the CreateNewItem function is called, with the value of the textbox as the parameter.
 $(document).ready(function() {
 $("#newTaskButton").click(function() {
 CreateNewItem("Add Item in List with jQuery and the SharePoint Web Services");
 });
 });
 function CreateNewItem(title) {
 var batch =
 "<Batch OnError=\"Continue\"> \
 <Method ID=\"1\" Cmd=\"New\"> \
 <Field Name=\"Title\">" + title + "</Field> \
 </Method> \
 </Batch>";
 var soapEnv =
 "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?> \

 xmlns:xsd=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema\" \
 xmlns:soap=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\"> \
 <soap:Body> \
 <UpdateListItems xmlns=\"http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/\"> \
 <listName>DemoList</listName> \
 <updates> \
 " + batch + "</updates> \
 </UpdateListItems> \
 </soap:Body> \
 </soap:Envelope>";
 $.ajax({
 url: _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl+"/_vti_bin/lists.asmx",
 beforeSend: function(xhr) {
 xhr.setRequestHeader("SOAPAction",
 "http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/UpdateListItems");
 },
 type: "POST",
 dataType: "xml",
 data: soapEnv,
 complete: processResult,
 contentType: "text/xml; charset=utf-8"
 });
 }
 //The jQuery ajax function call has a complete option which points to a function, in this function you can process the result as follows:
 function processResult(xData, status) {
 alert(status);
 }
</script>

SharePoint REST API

    contentType: "application/json;odata=verbose",
    data: JSON.stringify(listItems),
    headers: {
