Is there an equivalent to Ruby on Rails' to_query method in jQuery?

Question

In Ruby on Rails you can use to_query to convert a hash into a string suitable for use as a URL query string.

For example:

{ :name => 'David', :nationality => 'Danish' }.to_query # => "name=David&nationality=Danish"

Is there an equivalently easy way to do this in jQuery or javascript?

You can use $.param() function.

var query = $.param({ name: 'David', nationality: 'Danish' });
console.log(query);

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
