Problems with non-zero-based names

[lucaswxp]

Heys guys.

When I have a input like:

Qs.parse('obj[0]=value&obj[1]=value')

I get the expected array value

{obj: ['value', 'value']};

But when the input doesn't start with a zero based index, for instance:

Qs.parse('obj[1]=value&obj[2]=value')

I would expect a return value such as:

{obj: {'1': 'value', '2': 'value'}};

But I still get the same result as before:

{obj: ['value', 'value']};

That's because by default qs is creating a sparse array and placing the members in the correct indices, it then compacts that array preserving order, thus:

Qs.parse('obj[2]=value2&obj[1]=value1');

will yield

{ obj: ['value1', 'value2'] }

You can force creating an object by setting the arrayLimit option to 0:

Qs.parse('obj[1]=value&obj[2]=value', { arrayLimit: 0 });

which will give you:

{ obj: { '1': 'value', '2': 'value' } }
