How can I use advanced route parameters in Express?

You can use advanced route parameters in Express by defining dynamic routes with parameters in the URL. For example, you can define a route like /users/:userId to capture the userId parameter.

Can I use multiple parameters in a single route?

Yes, you can define multiple parameters in a single route. For instance, /users/:userId/posts/:postId allows you to capture both userId and postId.

How do I access these parameters in my route handler?

You can access the parameters using req.params. For example, const userId = req.params.userId; will give you the value of userId.

What if I want to make some parameters optional?

You can make parameters optional by using a question mark in the route definition, like /users/:userId?/posts/:postId?. This way, the route will still match if those parameters are not provided.
