URLSearchParams

The URLSearchParams interface defines utility methods to work with the query string of a URL.

An object implementing URLSearchParams can directly be used in a for...of structure, instead of entries(): for (var p of mySearchParams) is equivalent to for (var p of mySearchParams.entries()).
