+The `allowedMethods` array defines which HTTP methods should have their request bodies parsed. By default, only `POST`, `PUT`, `PATCH`, and `DELETE` requests are processed. GET requests are excluded because they typically don't include request bodies. Add `QUERY` to the list to parse the body of [QUERY requests](./routing.md#the-query-method).

+### The QUERY method
+
+`QUERY` is a newer HTTP method defined by [RFC 10008](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc10008.html). Like `GET`, it is safe and idempotent, and its responses are cacheable. Like `POST`, it sends the query in the request body. Use it for search or filter endpoints whose input is too large or too structured to fit in a URL, where you would otherwise reach for a `POST` route that doesn't change anything.
+
+```ts title="start/routes.ts"
+router.query('/products/search', async ({ request }) => {
+  const { filters, sort, limit } = request.body()
+  // run the search
+})
+```
+
+```sh
+curl -X QUERY http://localhost:3333/products/search \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"filters":{"category":"books","price":{"lte":30}},"sort":"-rating","limit":20}'
+```
+
+The spec requires every `QUERY` request to declare its `Content-Type`, so AdonisJS rejects `QUERY` requests without a valid `Content-Type` header with a `400 Bad Request` response.
+
+:::note
+The [bodyparser](./body_parser.md) only parses the body for the methods listed in the `allowedMethods` option. Make sure `'QUERY'` is part of that list in `config/bodyparser.ts`, otherwise `request.body()` will be empty for `QUERY` requests.
