I am writing a backend for my application that will accept query parameters from the front end, and then query my DB based on these parameters. This sounds to me like it should be a GET request, but since I have a lot of params that I'm passing with some of them being optional I think it would be easiest to do a POST request and send the search params in a request body. I know I can convert my params to a query string and append it to my GET request, but there has to be a better way because I will be passing different data types and will end up having to parse the params on the backend anyways if I do it this way.
