One simple answer with build in native Node module.(No third party npm modules)

The querystring module provides utilities for parsing and formatting URL query strings. It can be accessed using:

const querystring = require('querystring');

const body = "abc=foo&def=%5Basf%5D&xyz=5"
const parseJSON = querystring.parse(body);
console.log(parseJSON);
