Query String Method NameQuery String Method Description
querystring.decode()alias function for querystring.parse()
querystring.encode() alias function for querystring.stringify()
querystring.escape(str)performs URL percent-encoding on the given string to proivde optimized URL query strings
str – <string>
querystring.unescape(str) performs decoding of URL percent-encoded characters on the given
str- <string>
querystring.parse(str[, sep][, eq][, options]) parses a URL query string (str) into a collection of key and value pairs
str – <string> – URL query string
sep -<string> – substring used to delimit key and value pairs in the query string. Default: ‘&’.
eq – <string> – substring used to delimit keys and values in the query string. Default: ‘=’.
options – <object> where
decodeURIComponent – performs decoding percent-encoded characters in the query string. Default: querystring.unescape().
maxKeys – indicates maximum number of keys to parse. Specify 0 to remove key counting limitations. Default: 1000
querystring.stringify(obj[, sep][, eq][, options]) provides URL query string from the object by iterating the object’s properties
obj – – serialized URL query string
sep – – substring used to delimit key and value pairs in the query string. Default: ‘&’.
eq – – substring used to delimit keys and values in the query string. Default: ‘=’.
