How it works
The m.buildQueryString
creates a querystring from an object. It's useful for manipulating URLs
javascript
var querystring = m.buildQueryString({ a: 1, b: 2 });
// querystring is "a=1&b=2"
Deep data structures
Deep data structures are serialized in a way that is understood by popular web application servers such as PHP, Rails and ExpressJS
javascript
var querystring = m.buildQueryString({ a: ['hello', 'world'] });
// querystring is "a[0]=hello&a[1]=world"
