Have a look at the MDN article about window location   The QueryString is available in window location search   Solution that work in legacy browsers as well  MDN provide an example  no longer available in the above referenced article  of how to the get value of a single key available in the QueryString  Something like this   function getQueryStringValue  key        return decodeURIComponent window location search replace new RegExp          amp         encodeURIComponent key  replace           g       amp                 amp               i      1               Would write the value of the QueryString-variable called name to the console   console log getQueryStringValue  name        In modern browsers  In modern browsers you have the searchParams property of the URL interface  which returns a URLSearchParams object  The returned object has a number of convenient methods  including a get-method  So the equivalent of the above example would be   let params    new URL document location   searchParams  let name   params get  name      The URLSearchParams interface can also be used to parse strings in a querystring format  and turn them into a handy URLSearchParams object   let paramsString    name foo amp age 1337  let searchParams   new URLSearchParams paramsString    searchParams has  name       true     true searchParams get  age        1337      true   Notice that the browser support is still limited on this interface  so if you need to support legacy browsers  stick with the first example or use a polyfill

var queryObj          if url split      length gt 0        var queryString   url split      1          now you have the query part in queryString  First replace will remove all the white spaces  second will replace all the   amp   part with     and finally the third replace will put     in place of     signs   queryObj   JSON parse        queryString replace    g         replace   amp  g         replace    g                  So let say you had a query like abc 123 amp efg 456  Now before parsing  your query is being converted into something like   abc   123   efg   456    Now when you will parse this  it will give you your query in json object

You can use the search property of the window location object to obtain the query part of the URL  Note that it includes the question mark     at the beginning  just in case that affects how you intend to parse it

You can simply use URLSearchParams    Lets see we have a page with url   https   example com  product 1 amp category game  On that page  you can get the query string using window location search and then extract them with URLSearchParams   class  const params   new URLSearchParams window location search   console log params get  product      1  console log params get  category      game  Another example using a dynamic url  not from window location   you can extract the url using URL object  const url   new URL  https   www youtube com watch v 6xJ27BtlM0c amp ab channel FliteTest    console log url search      v 6xJ27BtlM0c amp ab channel FliteTest  This is a simple working snippet   x000D   x000D  const urlInput   document querySelector  input type url    const keyInput   document querySelector  input name key    const button   document querySelector  button   const outputDiv   document querySelector   output    button addEventListener  click        gt        const url   new URL urlInput value      const params   new URLSearchParams url search      output innerHTML   params get keyInput value     x000D  div   margin-bottom  1rem    x000D   lt div gt     lt label gt URL lt  label gt   lt br gt     lt input type  url  value  https   www youtube com watch v 6xJ27BtlM0c amp ab channel FliteTest  gt   lt  div gt    lt div gt     lt label gt Params key lt  label gt   lt br gt     lt input type  text  name  key  value  v  gt   lt  div gt    lt div gt     lt button gt Get Value lt  button gt   lt  div gt    lt div id  output  gt  lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   x000D
