Suggest using the URLSearchParams built-in

[tredondo]

The URL standard includes the URLSearchParams interface which in many cases should be able to replace this module. @sindresorhus is also considering suggesting it in his query-string module README.

This module has 10M weekly downloads. It would really help mentioning the built-in, to help avoid cargo cult usage of this module when not necessary.

The twice as popular querystring package deprecated itself in favor of URLSearchParams.

agree, this lib don't even support double entity like foo=1&foo=2
something that URLSearchParams can do for you...

this lib almost the the same thing as this, but with much more code...

Object.fromEntries(new URLSearchParams('?foo=bar')) 
`?${new URLSearchParams({foo: 'bar'})}`

This module was built years ago when URLSearchParams was not supported everywhere. This module works in IE6. Also this module is deadly simple by design.

Unlike alternatives like qs or query-string this module is around 400 bytes when minified and gzipped.

I agree that it would be better to use URLSearchParams when possible, but I do not think that using this small library is a problem. Developers should evaluate for themselves.

Feel free to open a PR with the suggestion.

Great, see #38.
