Query String to Object via regex
Just sharing a nice little code snippet that makes use of regular expressions instead of loops for converting.
function getQuery(s) {
var query = {};
s.replace(/\b([^&=]*)=([^&=]*)\b/g, function (m, a, d) {
if (typeof query[a] != 'undefined') {
query[a] += ',' + d;
} else {
query[a] = d;
}
});
return query;
}
// usage:
// var o = getQuery('maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&q=brighton&ie=UTF8&iwloc=addr');
// console.dir(o);Note that if a query string key is found more than once, it's value is appended. If you don't want this functionality, remove the test for undefined.

Cheers mate
@Ariel - damn escaping - they were supposed to be
