how do I convert a querystring into a json object in jquery

Question

This seems like a no brainer but surely there is either an internal js method or a jquery one to take a string like:

intTime=1324443870&fltOriginalAmount=0.00&strOriginalCurrency=GBP

...then a lot more vals and turn it into a JSON object?

I had a dig around this site and google and surprisingly drew blanks... Anyone got an easy way to do this?

There are no such thing as a "JSON object". Do you mean an object, or a JSON string? — Guffa

jQuery BBQ does exactly this. See $.deparam, "The opposite of jQuery.param, pretty much."

> var obj = $.deparam('intTime=1324443870&fltOriginalAmount=0.00&strOriginalCurrency=GBP')
> JSON.stringify(obj)
  '{"intTime":"1324443870","fltOriginalAmount":"0.00","strOriginalCurrency":"GBP"}'

so theres nothing internal to jquery or JS? Nice approach though, thank for this.

As far as I know, no, there is no "built-in" way.

i used this hack...

$.parseJSON('{"' + qs.replace(/&/g, '","').replace(/=/g, '":"') + '"}');
