In Express.js, URL Parameters (e.g.,
/user/:id) are used to identify specific resources and are accessed viareq.params, while Query Strings (e.g.,?search=true) are used for filtering or sorting and are accessed viareq.query. Simply put: parameters define what the resource is, while query strings define how it should be displayed.
