Specify the type of parameter for DELETE request in Nodejs

I would like to do a DELETE request with unspecified number of parameters a=someValue. There is 2 main ways of supplying parameters to my understanding

  1. Query parameters. ?a=someValue . This approach turn everything into string and since I allow any number of parameters, I cannot know which one is String, Boolean or Integer

  2. Parameters in Body.This approach goes against the spec of DELETE operation to not have a body. Some server even strip away the body-content. But as I send an json object, user can specify which type of value each of their parameters has.

What would be your approach for this?

I'd use query parameters over body as the DELETE method has an optional body. Some clients may choose to ignore the body totally.
