Node.js Express HTTP QUERY Support

Posted on:July 19, 2026

RFC10008 adds a new HTTP QUERY method.

Issue #51562 - Support for ‘QUERY’ method introduced the new HTTP QUERY method to Node.js Express app.query(path:String | RegExp | Array, callback:Function | Function[])

Express 5 does not automatically cache responses, regardless of whether you use the standard HTTP GET method or the newer IETF HTTP QUERY method. You must implement caching manually or via third-party middleware (like Redis)

Requires runtime: Node.js >=20.19.3 <21 || >=22.2.0
