From 159799aa1d40d54a5ea0915f5a058369a7147f0b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rahat Ahmed Date: Tue, 15 Nov 2016 13:56:03 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] doc: improve description of urlObject.query MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The description of urlObject.query is ambiguous about when it's an object vs when it's a string. Added a sentence pointing to the option that determines this in url.parse(). Also fixed the missing parentheses in the first sentence by rewording it to avoid nested parentheses.
