How To Deserialize Params Using JavaScript

Author: erics, Posted May 23rd, 2011 at 1:20:08pm

A very simple deserializer. I am sure it can be streamlined…
Also, note the use of the “while (i–)” construct. This is the best-performing Javascript loop method.

var Params = jQuery('#yourForm').serialize();
var yourHash = deserialize(Params);
alert(yourHash.yourVariable);

function deserialize(Params) {
    var Data = Params.split("&");
    var i = Data.length;
    var Result  = {}; 
    while (i--) {
        var Pair = decodeURIComponent(Data[i]).split("=");
        var Key = Pair[0];
        var Val = Pair[1];
        Result[Key] = Val;
    }   
    return Result;
}

var Params = jQuery('#yourForm').serialize();

var yourHash = deserialize(Params);

alert(yourHash.yourVariable);

function deserialize(Params) {

var Data = Params.split("&");

var i = Data.length;

var Result = {};

while (i--) {

var Pair = decodeURIComponent(Data[i]).split("=");

var Key = Pair[0];

var Val = Pair[1];

Result[Key] = Val;

}

return Result;

}
