About URL Path vs. Query Parameters
When in doubt whether to use URL path or query parameters, follow this rule:
-
Use URL path to uniquely define resources: list views, detail views, form views.
/jobs/ /blog/2022/02/hello-world/ /contact/ -
Use query parameters to define how the resource is displayed: item list or item grid, page 1 or page 10, web view or print view.
/profiles/?show=grid /profiles/?page=10 /profiles/?media=print
