stringify(input : Object, [separator : String]) : String

Converts query to a URL query string.

	var mqs = require('mongodb-querystring');
	var qry = {
     "$query" : {
       "age" : {
         "$gte" : new Date(1976, 11, 14)
       },
       "$or": [
         { "cuisine": "Italian" },
         { "address.zipcode": "10075" }
       ]
     },
     "$limit" : 20,
     "$orderby" : {
       "age" : -1,
       "posts": 1
     }
   };
   console.log(mqs.stringify(qry);

Output:

'$query[age][$gte]=219366000000^D&$query[$or][0][cuisine]=Italian&$query[$or][1][address.zipcode]=10075&$limit=20^N&$orderby[age]=-1^N&$orderby[posts]=1^N'
