querystring
Advanced tools
The querystring npm package is used for parsing and formatting URL query strings. It provides utilities for working with the query string of a URL, such as parsing a query string into an object, stringifying an object into a query string, and handling escape and unescape of URL query strings.
Parsing a query string
This feature is used to parse a URL query string into an object where each key-value pair is represented as a property.
const querystring = require('querystring');
const parsed = querystring.parse('foo=bar&abc=xyz&abc=123');Stringifying an object
This feature converts an object into a URL query string, with proper formatting and escaping.
const querystring = require('querystring');
const stringified = querystring.stringify({ foo: 'bar', baz: ['qux', 'quux'], corge: '' });Escaping and unescaping
These functions are used to manually escape and unescape query string values.
const querystring = require('querystring');
const escaped = querystring.escape('foo@bar.com');
const unescaped = querystring.unescape('foo%40bar.com');The 'qs' package is an advanced query string parser that supports nested objects and arrays, and offers more in-depth control over the parsing and stringifying of query strings compared to 'querystring'.
