$.unserialize for jQuery

jquery.unserialize.js

/**
 * $.unserialize
 *
 * Takes a string in format "param1=value1&param2=value2" and returns an object { param1: 'value1', param2: 'value2' }. If the "param1" ends with "[]" the param is treated as an array.
 *
 * Example:
 *
 * Input:  param1=value1&param2=value2
 * Return: { param1 : value1, param2: value2 }
 *
 * Input:  param1[]=value1&param1[]=value2
 * Return: { param1: [ value1, value2 ] }
 *
 * @todo Support params like "param1[name]=value1" (should return { param1: { name: value1 } })
