qs can typically be replaced with platform-provided APIs. When you need more functionality, there are other alternatives.
URLSearchParams is available starting in Node 10 and can be used when you don't need nesting or arrays
fast-querystring can be used when you need arrays but not nesting.
picoquery can be used when you need nesting and arrays.
qs-esm is an esm-only fork of qs with the following core differences:
- No polyfills for legacy Node versions, making this package dependency-free and reducing bundle-size.
- Includes TypeScript types, eliminating the need to install a separate @types/ package.
