Description
REST-based requests as called from the Vue component can arrive in different shapes. The Content-Type can e.g. be application/json or application/form-url-encoded. Depending on that the parsing in the backend needs to be adopted.
Here a general helper class should be generated to handle these cases well and in one central location.

Research direction
Trace the Vue component's AJAX/REST calls into the backend and locate the existing request parsing paths. Compare handling for application/json and application/form-url-encoded inputs; done means both shapes are handled through one central helper.
