Serialize object to query string in JavaScript/jQuery
You want $.param()
: http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.param/
Specifically, you want this:
var data = { one: 'first', two: 'second' };
var result = $.param(data);
When given something like this:
{a: 1, b : 23, c : "te!@#st"}
$.param
will return this:
a=1&b=23&c=te!%40%23st
For a quick non-JQuery function...
function jsonToQueryString(json) {
return '?' +
Object.keys(json).map(function(key) {
return encodeURIComponent(key) + '=' +
encodeURIComponent(json[key]);
}).join('&');
}
Note this doesn't handle arrays or nested objects.
