Express-query-parser

A parser helps you parse request for your express server. You may usually encounter some req.query issues like parsing 'null', 'true' and any numbered string. This parser covert them to the right type.

scenarios

query with object

// GET http://localhost/?a=null&b=true&c[d]=false&c[e]=3.14

// without this parser
req.query = {a: 'null', b: 'true', c: {d: 'false', e: '3.14'}}

// with this parser
req.query = {a: null, b: true, c: {d: false, e: 3.14}}

query with array

// GET http://localhost/?a[]=null&a[]=false

// without this parser
req.query = {a: ['null', 'false']}

// with this parser
req.query = {a: [null, false]}
