Try this:

function deparam(query) {
    var pairs, i, keyValuePair, key, value, map = {};
    // remove leading question mark if its there
    if (query.slice(0, 1) === '?') {
        query = query.slice(1);
    }
    if (query !== '') {
        pairs = query.split('&');
        for (i = 0; i < pairs.length; i += 1) {
            keyValuePair = pairs[i].split('=');
            key = decodeURIComponent(keyValuePair[0]);
            value = (keyValuePair.length > 1) ? decodeURIComponent(keyValuePair[1]) : undefined;
            map[key] = value;
        }
    }
    return map;
}
