@smithy/querystring-parser is an npm package designed to parse query strings into JavaScript objects and vice versa. It is useful for handling URL query parameters in web applications, making it easier to work with URL-encoded data.

What are @smithy/querystring-parser's main functionalities?

Parse Query String

This feature allows you to parse a query string into a JavaScript object. The `parse` function takes a query string as input and returns an object with key-value pairs.

const { parse } = require('@smithy/querystring-parser');
const queryString = 'name=John&age=30&city=New%20York';
const parsed = parse(queryString);
console.log(parsed); // { name: 'John', age: '30', city: 'New York' }

Stringify Object to Query String

This feature allows you to convert a JavaScript object into a query string. The `stringify` function takes an object as input and returns a URL-encoded query string.

const { stringify } = require('@smithy/querystring-parser');
const obj = { name: 'John', age: '30', city: 'New York' };
const queryString = stringify(obj);
console.log(queryString); // 'name=John&age=30&city=New%20York'

Other packages similar to @smithy/querystring-parser

query-string

The `query-string` package is a widely-used library for parsing and stringifying URL query strings. It offers similar functionality to @smithy/querystring-parser but also includes additional features like handling arrays and nested objects.

qs

The `qs` package is another popular library for parsing and stringifying query strings. It provides more advanced features compared to @smithy/querystring-parser, such as support for nested objects, arrays, and custom delimiters.

url-search-params

The `url-search-params` package is a polyfill for the URLSearchParams API, which is natively available in modern browsers.
