/**
* Identical to {@link FormData @FormData}, but only retrieves the parameter from the URL string, not URL-encoded form
* posts.
*
*
* Unlike {@link FormData @FormData}, using this annotation does not result in the servlet reading the contents of
* URL-encoded form posts.
* Therefore, this annotation can be used in conjunction with the {@link Body @Body} annotation or
* {@link RestRequest#getBody()} method for application/x-www-form-urlencoded POST calls.
*
*
Example:
*
* @RestMethod (name=GET )
* public void doGet(RestRequest req, RestResponse res,
* @Query ("p1" ) int p1, @Query ("p2" ) String p2, @Query ("p3" ) UUID p3) {
* ...
* }
*
*
*
* This is functionally equivalent to the following code...
*
* @RestMethod (name=GET )
* public void doGet(RestRequest req, RestResponse res) {
* int p1 = req.getQueryParameter(int .class , "p1" , 0);
* String p2 = req.getQueryParameter(String.class , "p2" );
* UUID p3 = req.getQueryParameter(UUID.class , "p3" );
* ...
* }
*

This treats request parameters as plain text.
