Does Not Parse Boolean/Number in array

Consider this code

Qs.stringify({
  field: {
      $in: [true, false,0,1]
  }
})

true, false, 0, 1 all become strings

parse is expected to produce something that’s not a string, but stringify is not.

Separately, qs.parse does not in fact do that in my testing:

qs.parse('true') // { true: '' }
qs.parse('a=true') // { a: 'true' }

etc.

@dmitry that’s because parse only accepts a string. Passing a boolean in is a type error, something that I’ll probably make throw an exception in the next semver-major, whenever that is.

Regarding #91, a=true in a query string is the string “true”, not a boolean, so qs won’t ever do the wrong thing there by default. You’ll have to use a custom decoder if you want nonstandard types.
