node-qs-serialization

Serialization and deserialization of Javascript objects for use in the querystring part of an url without any external dependency. Slightly modified from jQuery's $.param function $.param method and Ben Alman's jquery-bbq with license info for both included.

param serializes any Javascript object to a valid querystring. deparam deserializes a provided querystring.

var param = require('node-qs-serialization').param;
var deparam = require('node-qs-serialization').deparam;

var paramStr = 'a[]=4&a[]=5&a[]=6&b[x][]=7&b[y]=8&b[z][]=9&b[z][]=0&b[z][]=true&b[z][]=false&b[z][]=undefined&b[z][]=&c=1';
var paramsObj = {
    a: [4,5,6],
    b:{
        x:[7],
        y:8,
        z:[9,0,true,false,undefined,'']
    },
    c:1
};

param(paramsObj).should.equal(paramStr);
deparam(paramStr).should.deep.equal(paramsObj);
