We currently have Query as a very thin wrapper around nodejs querystring:

https://github.com/purescript-node/purescript-node-url/blob/v6.0.0/src/Node/URL.js#L2

Apparently this is legacy in the API:

https://nodejs.org/api/url.html#legacy-urlobject

It would be useful to implement URLSearchParams especially that I can't find anything for query manipulation on Pursuit. Query is bit tricky: there is URL escaping and whatnot. And it's often necessary when writing frontends that make requests for the backend.

Would be nice to have a new release tag so this package can actually be used with 0.9.1.

From the url documentation page

Legacy: Use the WHATWG URL API instead.

Bindings in URL also use the querystring module (and perhaps should have been in a separate PureScript module originally)

The querystring API is considered Legacy. While it is still maintained, new code should use the API instead.
