# Query String

<!--name=querystring-->
|
|
|
|
The `querystring` module provides utilities for parsing and formatting URL
|
|
query strings. It can be accessed using:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const querystring = require('querystring');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## querystring.escape(str)
|
|
<!-- YAML
|
|
added: v0.1.25
|
|
-->
|
|
|
|
* `str` {String}
|
|
|
|
The `querystring.escape()` method performs URL percent-encoding on the given
|
|
`str` in a manner that is optimized for the specific requirements of URL
|
|
query strings.
|
|
|
|
The `querystring.escape()` method is used by `querystring.stringify()` 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 `querystring.escape` to an alternative function.
|
|
|
|
## querystring.parse(str[, sep[, eq[, options]]])
|
|
<!-- YAML
|
|
added: v0.1.25
|
|
-->
|
|
|
|
* `str` {String} The URL query string to parse
|
|
* `sep` {String} The substring used to delimit key and value pairs in the
|
|
query string. Defaults to `'&'`.
|
|
* `eq` {String}. The substring used to delimit keys and values in the
|
|
query string. Defaults to `'='`.
|
|
* `options` {Object}
|
|
* `decodeURIComponent` {Function} The function to use when decoding
|
|
percent-encoded characters in the query string. Defaults to
|
|
`querystring.unescape()`.
|
|
* `maxKeys` {number} Specifies the maximum number of keys to parse.
|
|
Defaults to `1000`. Specify `0` to remove key counting limitations.
|
|
|
|
The `querystring.parse()` method parses a URL query string (`str`) into a
|
|
collection of key and value pairs.
|
|
|
|
For example, the query string `'foo=bar&abc=xyz&abc=123'` is parsed into:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
{
|
|
foo: 'bar',
|
|
abc: ['xyz', '123']
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
*Note*: The object returned by the `querystring.parse()` method _does not_
|
|
prototypically extend from the JavaScript `Object`. This means that the
|
|
typical `Object` methods such as `obj.toString()`, `obj.hasOwnProperty()`,
|
|
and others are not defined and *will not work*.
|
|
|
|
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 `decodeURIComponent` option will need to be specified as illustrated
|
|
in the following example:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// Assuming gbkDecodeURIComponent function already exists...
|
|
|
|
querystring.parse('w=%D6%D0%CE%C4&foo=bar', null, null,
|
|
{ decodeURIComponent: gbkDecodeURIComponent })
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## querystring.stringify(obj[, sep[, eq[, options]]])
|
|
<!-- YAML
|
|
added: v0.1.25
|
|
-->
|
|
|
|
* `obj` {Object} The object to serialize into a URL query string
|
|
* `sep` {String} The substring used to delimit key and value pairs in the
|
|
query string. Defaults to `'&'`.
|
|
* `eq` {String}. The substring used to delimit keys and values in the
|
|
query string. Defaults to `'='`.
|
|
* `options`
|
|
* `encodeURIComponent` {Function} The function to use when converting
|
|
URL-unsafe characters to percent-encoding in the query string. Defaults to
|
|
`querystring.escape()`.
|
|
|
|
The `querystring.stringify()` method produces a URL query string from a
|
|
given `obj` by iterating through the object's "own properties".
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
querystring.stringify({ foo: 'bar', baz: ['qux', 'quux'], corge: '' })
|
|
// returns 'foo=bar&baz=qux&baz=quux&corge='
|
|
|
|
querystring.stringify({foo: 'bar', baz: 'qux'}, ';', ':')
|
|
// returns 'foo:bar;baz:qux'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
`encodeURIComponent` option will need to be specified as illustrated in the
|
|
following example:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// Assuming gbkEncodeURIComponent function already exists,
|
|
|
|
querystring.stringify({ w: '中文', foo: 'bar' }, null, null,
|
|
{ encodeURIComponent: gbkEncodeURIComponent })
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## querystring.unescape(str)
|
|
<!-- YAML
|
|
added: v0.1.25
|
|
-->
|
|
* `str` {String}
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `querystring.unescape()` method performs decoding of URL percent-encoded
|
|
characters on the given `str`.
|
|
|
|
The `querystring.unescape()` method is used by `querystring.parse()` 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 `querystring.unescape` to an alternative function.
|
|
|
|
By default, the `querystring.unescape()` method will attempt to use the
|
|
JavaScript built-in `decodeURIComponent()` method to decode. If that fails,
|
|
a safer equivalent that does not throw on malformed URLs will be used.
