querystring

Module exports utility functions for working with query strings.

stringify

Object may be serialize to a query string via exported stringify function:

?
1
querystring.stringify({ foo: 'bar', baz: 4 });  // => 'foo=bar&baz=4'

Optionally separator and assignment arguments may be passed to override default '&' and'=' characters:

?
1
querystring.stringify({ foo: 'bar', baz: 4 }, ';', ':');  // => 'foo:bar;baz:4'

parse

Query string may be deserialized to an object via exported parse function:

?
1
querystring.parse('foo=bar&baz=bla') // =>  { foo: 'bar', baz: 'bla' }

Optionally separator and assignment arguments may be passed to override default '&' and '=' characters:

?
1
querystring.parse('foo:bar|baz:bla', '|', ':')  // => { foo: 'bar', baz: 'bla' }

escape

The escape function used by stringify to encodes a string safely matching RFC 3986 for application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
