What are parseqs's main functionalities?

Parse Query String

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

const parseqs = require('parseqs');
const queryString = 'name=John&age=30';
const parsed = parseqs.decode(queryString);
console.log(parsed); // { name: 'John', age: '30' }

Stringify Object to Query String

This feature allows you to convert a JavaScript object into a query string. The `encode` method takes an object as input and returns a query string.

const parseqs = require('parseqs');
const obj = { name: 'John', age: '30' };
const queryString = parseqs.encode(obj);
console.log(queryString); // 'name=John&age=30'
