One of the simplest way to do this using URLSearchParam interface.

Below is the working code snippet:

let paramObj={},
    querystring=window.location.search,
    searchParams = new URLSearchParams(querystring);    

  //*** :loop to add key and values to the param object.
 searchParams.forEach(function(value, key) {
      paramObj[key] = value;
   });
