- querystring.parse(queryString:String)


Given the following data.

``js
complexQueryString = "chicken=tasty&duck=delicious&key%20has%20a%20space=%7B%22value%22%3A%22is%20an%20object%22%2C%22deep%22%3A%7B%22values%22%3A%22are%20ok%22%7D%7D&number=-36.2&array=%5B%22one%22%2C2%2C%223%22%5D&boolean=false&date=2013-12-11T23%3A00%3A00.000Z";
testObject = {
chicken: "tasty",
duck: "delicious",
"key has a space": {
value: "is an object",
deep: {
values: "are ok"
}
},
number: -36.2,
array: [ "one", 2, "3" ],
boolean: false,
date: new Date( 2013, 11, 11, 33, 0, 0 ),
};
`




querystring.stringify(object:Object)

should stringify a complex object to a querystring.

`js
should( querystring.stringify( testObject ) ).equal( complexQueryString );
`




querystring.parse(queryString:String)

should parse a complex querystring.

`js
var parsedQuerystring = querystring.parse( complexQueryString );
should.equal( parsedQuerystring[ "chicken" ], testObject[ "chicken" ] );
should.equal( parsedQuerystring[ "duck" ], testObject[ "duck" ] );
should.equal( JSON.stringify( parsedQuerystring[ "key has a space" ] ), JSON.stringify( testObject[ "key has a space" ] ) );
should.equal( parsedQuerystring[ "number" ], testObject[ "number" ] );
should.equal( JSON.stringify( parsedQuerystring[ "array" ] ), JSON.stringify( testObject[ "array" ] ) );
should.equal( parsedQuerystring[ "boolean" ], testObject[ "boolean" ] );
should.equal( JSON.stringify( parsedQuerystring[ "date" ] ), JSON.stringify( testObject[ "date" ] ) );
