Package description
The querystringify npm package is a utility for parsing and formatting URL query strings. It is designed to be simple and lightweight, providing basic functionalities to handle query strings in web applications.
Parse query string
This feature allows you to parse a query string into an object. It takes a query string as input and returns an object with key-value pairs corresponding to the parameters in the query string.
const querystringify = require('querystringify');
const parsed = querystringify.parse('?foo=bar&hello=world');
console.log(parsed); // { foo: 'bar', hello: 'world' }Stringify object
This feature converts an object into a query string. It takes an object as input and returns a query string with each object property converted into a key-value pair.
const querystringify = require('querystringify');
const stringified = querystringify.stringify({ foo: 'bar', hello: 'world' });
console.log(stringified); // 'foo=bar&hello=world'qs is a more feature-rich package compared to querystringify. It supports nested objects, arrays, and can handle complex parsing and stringifying scenarios which querystringify does not support.
query-string provides similar functionalities to querystringify but with additional features like handling arrays and objects, and it supports modern JavaScript features like ES6 modules. It is also more actively maintained.
Readme
A somewhat JSON compatible interface for query string parsing. This query string parser is dumb, don't expect to much from it as it only wants to parse simple query strings. If you want to parse complex, multi level and deeply nested query strings then you should ask your self. WTF am I doing?
This module is released in npm as querystringify. It's also compatible with
browserify so it can be used on the server as well as on the client. To
install it simply run the following command from your CLI:
npm install --save querystringify
In the following examples we assume that you've already required the library as:
'use strict';
var qs = require('querystringify');
The parse method transforms a given query string in to an object. Parameters
without values are set to empty strings. It does not care if your query string
is prefixed with a ?, a #, or not prefixed. It just extracts the parts
between the = and &:
qs.parse('?foo=bar'); // { foo: 'bar' }
qs.parse('#foo=bar'); // { foo: 'bar' }
qs.parse('foo=bar'); // { foo: 'bar' }
qs.parse('foo=bar&bar=foo'); // { foo: 'bar', bar: 'foo' }
qs.parse('foo&bar=foo'); // { foo: '', bar: 'foo' }
This transforms a given object in to a query string. By default we return the
query string without a ? prefix. If you want to prefix it by default simply
supply true as second argument. If it should be prefixed by something else
simply supply a string with the prefix value as second argument:
qs.stringify({ foo: bar }); // foo=bar
qs.stringify({ foo: bar }, true); // ?foo=bar
qs.stringify({ foo: bar }, '#'); // #foo=bar
qs.stringify({ foo: '' }, '&'); // &foo=
