Query String#

Stability: 3 - Stable

This module provides utilities for dealing with query strings. It provides the following methods:

querystring.stringify(obj, [sep], [eq])#

Serialize an object to a query string. Optionally override the default separator ('&') and assignment ('=') characters.

Example:

querystring.stringify({ foo: 'bar', baz: ['qux', 'quux'], corge: '' })
// returns
'foo=bar&baz=qux&baz=quux&corge='

querystring.stringify({foo: 'bar', baz: 'qux'}, ';', ':')
// returns
'foo:bar;baz:qux'

querystring.parse(str, [sep], [eq])#

Deserialize a query string to an object. Optionally override the default separator ('&') and assignment ('=') characters.

Example:

querystring.parse('foo=bar&baz=qux&baz=quux&corge')
// returns
{ foo: 'bar', baz: ['qux', 'quux'], corge: '' }

querystring.escape#

The escape function used by querystring.stringify, provided so that it could be overridden if necessary.

querystring.unescape#

The unescape function used by querystring.parse, provided so that it could be overridden if necessary.
