Comment (by zieladam):

 @dsmy would you be willing to share more information about your use-case?
 While I don't have enough context off-hand to comment on possible
 solutions, I'm thinking that it is weird there is no historical solution
 for this. I wonder whether the REST API was intended for handling complex
 inputs via GET requests, or was the intention to always use POST. Is it
 just a documentation issue? POST requests are not subject to HTTP caching,
 for example, which wouldn't make sense for  uniquely generated pages
 parametrized by complex JSON structures. POST requests also behave
 differently under CORS etc. etc. Knowing more about your project would be
 a very helpful framing for this discussion.
