<p>The <code>querystring</code> module provides utilities for parsing and formatting URL
query strings. It can be accessed using:</p>
<pre><code class="language-js">const querystring = require('querystring');

<p>The <code>querystring.escape()</code> method performs URL percent-encoding on the given
<code>str</code> in a manner that is optimized for the specific requirements of URL
query strings.</p>
<p>The <code>querystring.escape()</code> method is used by <code>querystring.stringify()</code> and is
generally not expected to be used directly. It is exported primarily to allow
application code to provide a replacement percent-encoding implementation if
necessary by assigning <code>querystring.escape</code> to an alternative function.</p>

</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The <code>querystring.parse()</code> method parses a URL query string (<code>str</code>) into a
collection of key and value pairs.</p>
<p>For example, the query string <code>'foo=bar&#x26;abc=xyz&#x26;abc=123'</code> is parsed into:</p>
<!-- eslint-skip -->
<pre><code class="language-js">{
  foo: 'bar',
  abc: ['xyz', '123']
}
</code></pre>
<p>The object returned by the <code>querystring.parse()</code> method <em>does not</em>
prototypically inherit from the JavaScript <code>Object</code>. This means that typical
<code>Object</code> methods such as <code>obj.toString()</code>, <code>obj.hasOwnProperty()</code>, and others
are not defined and <em>will not work</em>.</p>
<p>By default, percent-encoded characters within the query string will be assumed
to use UTF-8 encoding. If an alternative character encoding is used, then an
alternative <code>decodeURIComponent</code> option will need to be specified:</p>
<pre><code class="language-js">// Assuming gbkDecodeURIComponent function already exists...

querystring.parse('w=%D6%D0%CE%C4&#x26;foo=bar', null, null,
                  { decodeURIComponent: gbkDecodeURIComponent });
</code></pre>

<ul>
<li><code>encodeURIComponent</code> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Function" class="type">&#x3C;Function></a> The function to use when converting
URL-unsafe characters to percent-encoding in the query string. <strong>Default:</strong>
<code>querystring.escape()</code>.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The <code>querystring.stringify()</code> method produces a URL query string from a
given <code>obj</code> by iterating through the object's "own properties".</p>
<p>It serializes the following types of values passed in <code>obj</code>:
<a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures#String_type" class="type">&#x3C;string></a> | <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures#Number_type" class="type">&#x3C;number></a> | <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures#Boolean_type" class="type">&#x3C;boolean></a> | <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures#String_type" class="type">&#x3C;string[]></a> | <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures#Number_type" class="type">&#x3C;number[]></a> | <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures#Boolean_type" class="type">&#x3C;boolean[]></a>
Any other input values will be coerced to empty strings.</p>
<pre><code class="language-js">querystring.stringify({ foo: 'bar', baz: ['qux', 'quux'], corge: '' });
// returns 'foo=bar&#x26;baz=qux&#x26;baz=quux&#x26;corge='

querystring.stringify({ foo: 'bar', baz: 'qux' }, ';', ':');
// returns 'foo:bar;baz:qux'
</code></pre>
<p>By default, characters requiring percent-encoding within the query string will
be encoded as UTF-8. If an alternative encoding is required, then an alternative
<code>encodeURIComponent</code> option will need to be specified:</p>
<pre><code class="language-js">// Assuming gbkEncodeURIComponent function already exists,

querystring.stringify({ w: '中文', foo: 'bar' }, null, null,
                      { encodeURIComponent: gbkEncodeURIComponent });
</code></pre>
<h2>querystring.unescape(str)<span><a class="mark" href="#querystring_querystring_unescape_str" id="querystring_querystring_unescape_str">#</a></span></h2>

<ul>
<li><code>str</code> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures#String_type" class="type">&#x3C;string></a></li>
</ul>
<p>The <code>querystring.unescape()</code> method performs decoding of URL percent-encoded
characters on the given <code>str</code>.</p>
<p>The <code>querystring.unescape()</code> method is used by <code>querystring.parse()</code> and is
generally not expected to be used directly. It is exported primarily to allow
application code to provide a replacement decoding implementation if
necessary by assigning <code>querystring.unescape</code> to an alternative function.</p>
<p>By default, the <code>querystring.unescape()</code> method will attempt to use the
JavaScript built-in <code>decodeURIComponent()</code> method to decode. If that fails,
a safer equivalent that does not throw on malformed URLs will be used.</p>
