👩‍💻 HTTP is getting a new method: QUERY 👀 An interesting addition to HTTP in a while. The purpose is simple: perform read-only requests with a request body. Instead of squeezing a complex search into a URL, you can express it naturally:

QUERY /users

{
  "role": "admin",
  "country": "KR",
  "skills": ["Node.js", "React"]
}

Or search for products:

QUERY /products

{
  "categories": ["laptops", "monitors"],
  "price": {
    "min": 500,
    "max": 1500
  },
  "inStock": true,
  "sort": "rating"
}

The goal is to make complex queries more expressive and read-only. I don’t expect everyone to adopt it asap, but it’s a new non AI topic to discuss (finally 👍). More info: https://dev.to/tykok/the-new-http-method-query-2bec @seouldev
