Code before:
		if (Array.isArray(query.fields) && query.fields.length > 0) {
			params['fields'] = formatFields(query.fields).join(',');
		}

		// backwards JS compatibility for `fields: "id,name"`
		if (typeof query.fields === 'string') {
			params['fields'] = query.fields;
		}
	}

	if (query.filter && typeof query.filter === 'object' && Object.keys(query.filter).length > 0) {
		params['filter'] = JSON.stringify(query.filter);
	}

	if (query.search && typeof query.search === 'string' && query.search.length > 0) {
		params['search'] = query.search;
	}

	if (query.sort) {
		if (Array.isArray(query.sort) && query.sort.length > 0) {
			params['sort'] = query.sort.join(',');
		}

		if (typeof query.sort === 'string' && query.sort.length > 0) {
			params['sort'] = query.sort;
		}
	}

	if ('limit' in query) {
		if (typeof query.limit === 'number' && query.limit >= -1) {
			params['limit'] = String(query.limit);
		}

		// backwards JS compatibility for string limits
		if (typeof query.limit === 'string' && Number(query.limit) >= -1) {
			params['limit'] = query.limit;
		}
	}

	if ('offset' in query) {
		if (typeof query.offset === 'number' && query.offset >= 0) {
			params['offset'] = String(query.offset);
		}

		// backwards JS compatibility for string offsets
		if (typeof query.offset === 'string' && Number(query.offset) >= 0) {
			params['offset'] = query.offset;

	}

	if ('page' in query) {

Review comment (suggestion):
```suggestion
	if (query.sort && query.sort.length > 0) {
		if (Array.isArray(query.sort)) {
			params['sort'] = query.sort.join(',');
		}

		if (typeof query.sort === 'string') {
			params['sort'] = query.sort;
		}
```

Code after:
	typeof value === 'object' && value !== null && !isArray(value) && Object.keys(value).length > 0;
