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], [options])
Deserialize a query string to an object.
Optionally override the default separator ('&') and assignment ('=')
characters.
Options object may contain maxKeys property (equal to 1000 by default), it'll
be used to limit processed keys. Set it to 0 to remove key count limitation.
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.
