Documentation details

Full documentation reference: https://www.npmjs.com/package/qs Result of parsing can be returned as root object if needed, but default implementation is to return a dictionary.

Not supported

Parser:

• plainObjects
• ignoreQueryPrefix - always False, query is always considered without prefix
• Strict null handling

Stringifier:

• custom encoder and decoder functions
• sorting of keys
• filtering of keys

Additional support

• parsing primitive values: int, float are represented as decimal.Decimal, bool-like values are represented as bool whatever the case they are in, however this can be processed strictly using primitive_strict option, null-like values are represented as None

Modifications:

Parser:

• sparse arrays are represented as dictionaries with keys as indexes
• undefined values are represented as strings 'undefined'
• queries such as a without = are considered as non-value and thus are not included in the result
