Question

I have a string like this:

Does Ruby on Rails provide methods to parse this as if it is a querystring,

Answer 1

If you talking about the Urls that is being used to get data about the parameters them

> request.url
=> "http://localhost:3000/restaurants/lokesh-dhaba?data=some&more=thisIsMore"

Then to get the query parameters. use

> request.query_parameters
=> {"data"=>"some", "more"=>"thisIsMore"}
