What is the easiest way to read/manipulate query string params using javascript?

Question

The examples I\'ve seen online seem much more complex than I expected (manually parsing &/?/= into pairs, using regular expressions, etc). We\'re using asp.net

Answer 1

If there's any possibility of encountering repeated parameters (e.g. ?tag=foo&tag=bar), most libraries out there won't be sufficient. In that case, you might want to consider this library that I developed from Jan Wolter's very comprehensive parser. I added .plus() and .minus() functions and roundtripping:
