Both boolean indexing and the `query()` method allow you to filter DataFrames based on conditions. However, `query()` uses a string-based expression, which can be more readable for complex queries. Boolean indexing uses a boolean mask directly. `query()` might be slightly slower than boolean indexing for simple conditions, but it offers more flexibility for complex string-based filtering.
