Parse a query string into an object.
Stringify an object into a query string.
This module intentionally doesn't support nesting as it's not specced and varies between implementations, which causes a lot of edge cases.
You're much better off just converting the object to a JSON string:
queryString.stringify({
foo: 'bar',
nested: JSON.stringify({
unicorn: 'cake'
})
});
// foo=bar&nested=%7B%22unicorn%22%3A%22cake%22%7D
