Works in progress and will make a github repo for this for realz. currently I copied from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/901115/how-can-i-get-query-string-values things i wanted it be able to parse are: - array -- ?a[]=1&a[]=2 // => { a: [1, 2]} -- ?a[0]=1&a[1]=2 // => { a: [1, 2] } **maybe?** - different separator. i think ; (semi-colon) is…

query_string_parser.js

var parseQueryString = ( function () {
  "use strict";
  return function (query) {
    var match,
      urlParams = {},
      pl     = /\+/g,
      search = /([^&=]+)=?([^&]*)/g,
      decode = function (s) { return decodeURIComponent(s.replace(pl, " ")); };

    query  = query || window.location.search;
    if ( 0 === query.indexOf('?')) {
      query = query.substring(1);
    }

    while (match = search.exec(query)) {
      urlParams[decode(match[1])] = decode(match[2]);
    }

    return urlParams;
  };
})();

Using regex for this is just wrong and will fail in some scenarios.

You'd better off using a tiny reusable module like:
