Using query parameters for complex data? That's a no-go.

I feel like option B could work, but I don't recall seeing XML used much in recent API designs.

I’m a bit confused about query parameters; I thought they were mainly for simple data, not complex structures.

I think using JSON is the way to go since it's widely accepted for APIs, but I'm not entirely sure about converting it to a string.
