<p>The <code>node:querystring</code> module provides utilities for parsing and formatting URL
query strings. It can be accessed using:</p>
<pre><code class="language-js"><span class="hljs-keyword">const</span> querystring = <span class="hljs-built_in">require</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'node:querystring'</span>);</code> <button class="copy-button">copy</button></pre>
<p><code>querystring</code> is more performant than <a href="url.html#class-urlsearchparams" class="type"><URLSearchParams></a> but is not a
standardized API. Use <a href="url.html#class-urlsearchparams" class="type"><URLSearchParams></a> when performance is not critical or
when compatibility with browser code is desirable.</p>

<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>

<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&abc=xyz&abc=123'</code> is parsed into:</p>
<pre><code class="language-json"><span class="hljs-punctuation">{</span>
<span class="hljs-attr">"foo"</span><span class="hljs-punctuation">:</span> <span class="hljs-string">"bar"</span><span class="hljs-punctuation">,</span>
<span class="hljs-attr">"abc"</span><span class="hljs-punctuation">:</span> <span class="hljs-punctuation">[</span><span class="hljs-string">"xyz"</span><span class="hljs-punctuation">,</span> <span class="hljs-string">"123"</span><span class="hljs-punctuation">]</span>
<span class="hljs-punctuation">}</span></code> <button class="copy-button">copy</button></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"><span class="hljs-comment">// Assuming gbkDecodeURIComponent function already exists...</span>

<p>The <code>querystring.stringify()</code> method produces a URL query string from a

<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></section>
