Build a URL query string from values.
JavaScript: URLSearchParams handles query escaping and repeated parameter appends.
const query = new URLSearchParams({q: "hello world"});
query.append("tag", "code");
query.append("tag", "tips");
console.log(query.toString());Expected output EXAMPLE
q=hello+world&tag=code&tag=tips
Details
Save as snippet.js and run node snippet.js. Uses built-in Node.js and JavaScript APIs. URLSearchParams handles query escaping and repeated parameter appends.

Test inputs, results and environment
The exact published code ran in a dedicated Linux test container with prepared inputs. Unprivileged snippet process, external networking disabled, read-only root filesystem, and a fresh temporary working directory. Fixtures and output records are isolated from the application database. Testing covers this example and its stated checks, not every input, operating system, or runtime version. The Linux container shares its host's kernel; this is not a native Windows test.
