URL Parameters vs Query Strings in Express.js

Short summary

URL parameters (e.g., /users/101) access specific resources; query parameters (e.g., /users?id=101) filter or search data. Use URL parameters for clean, SEO-friendly routes; query parameters for dynamic searches and pagination. Express.js handles both via req.params and req.query.

• •URL parameters are path-based for specific resources; query parameters are ?-based for filtering and search
• •URL parameters create clean, SEO-friendly URLs; query parameters handle dynamic data and pagination
• •Express.js provides req.params and req.query objects to access both parameter types
