https://nodejs.org/api/querystring.html#querystring_querystring_parse_str_sep_eq_options

https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#buffer_buf_tostring_encoding_start_end what is the major difference between

querystring.parse and querystring.stringify?

hey! isn't stringify from python? ... so strange.

querystring.stringify({ foo: 'bar', baz: ['qux', 'quux'], corge: '' })
// returns
'foo=bar&baz=qux&baz=quux&corge='

querystring.stringify({foo: 'bar', baz: 'qux'}, ';', ':')
// returns
'foo:bar;baz:qux'

// Suppose gbkEncodeURIComponent function already exists,
// it can encode string with `gbk` encoding
querystring.stringify({ w: 'δΈ­ζ–‡', foo: 'bar' }, null, null,
  { encodeURIComponent: gbkEncodeURIComponent })
// returns
'w=%D6%D0%CE%C4&foo=bar'
