jquery build http query string

Question

I have an object like this:

Object
    id: "myid"
    token: "sometoken"

I need to build a HTTP query-string and get something like this:

http://domain.com/file.html?id=myid&token=sometoken

Any ideas how I can do this?

Answer 1

var obj = { id: 'myid', token: 'sometoken' };
var url = 'http://domain.com/file.html?' + $.param(obj);

Answer 2

​var obj = {
        id    : 'myid',
        token : 'sometoken'
    };

alert($.param(obj));

You can use $.param() to create your query-string parameters. This will alert id=myid&token=sometoken.

This function is used internally to convert form element values into a serialized string representation.
