http-querystring-stringify

http-querystring-stringify

Simple, small and correct querystring serialization-only for the browser or server.

This package is intended for client side code or input data which structure is defined by the application. It has no DoS protection and simplicity and correctness is prioritized over performance.

If you need extreme performance you should consider https://github.com/petkaantonov/querystringparser.

This package was written because serialization seems to happen most often on the client as a single operation and similar performance-focused libraries had trade-offs and bugs while others carried huge dependencies.

var stringify = require('http-querystring-stringify');

stringify({
	first: 'John',
	last: 'Wayne',
});
// -> first=John&last=Wayne

stringify({
	brands: [ 'KitKat', 'Snickers', 'Bounty' ],
});
// -> brands[]=KitKat&brands[]=Snickers&brands[]=Bounty

stringify({
	sites: [
		{ name: 'facebook', 'color': 'blue' },
	],
});
// -> sites[0][name]=facebook&sites[0][color]=blue

• toJSON is respected (like JSON.stringify does)
• true and false are converted to y or n respectively
• null is represented by an empty string
• undefined values will be skipped completely
• arrays will be numbered only if they contain arrays or objects themselves
