Docs confusion: issue with using querystring with axios

In docs for axios I see this:

In node.js, you can use the querystring module as follows:

var querystring = require(‘querystring’); axios.post(‘http://something.com/’, querystring.stringify({ foo: ‘bar’ }));

I tried this and it didn’t work for me. Later I found this ticket which still open: https://github.com/axios/axios/issues/362

And I think I know why it’s still open…

“querystring.stringify” works different from “qs.stringify”. See this ticket: https://github.com/nodejs/node-v0.x-archive/issues/1665

See:

first querystring:

$ node -e "console.log(require('querystring').stringify({a:{b: 1, c: 2}}));" $ a=

then qs:

$ node -e "console.log(require('qs').stringify({a:{b: 1, c: 2}}));" $ a%5Bb%5D=1&a%5Bc%5D=2

querystring doesn’t support nested objects.

What I suggest:

1. Make a note in axios documentation to explicitly let people know that “querystring.stringify” doesn’t stringify nested objects.
2. After that I think you can close this ticket: https://github.com/axios/axios/issues/362
