HTTP QUERY Method: A Better Way to Handle Complex Read Operations

The HTTP QUERY method is a new way to handle complex read operations, addressing the limitations of GET and POST. It allows clients to send structured query content directly in the request, making the API intent clear. QUERY is defined as safe and idempotent, enabling different handling for capabilities like retries and caching. It can be thought of as GET with a request body, but has its own HTTP semantics. QUERY is a method worth understanding for backend developers and system designers.
