This speeds up WHATWG URLSearchParams without changing observable behavior.

Independent of the new URL() parse PR (#65361).

What changed

  • Parse: walk & / = with indexOf instead of a per-character state machine. When the input has no + or %, each component is a slice of the original string. Percent-decoding still runs only when a complete %HH sequence exists, so lone % and fake sequences like stay intact.
  • USVString: skip `${value}` when the value is already a string (constructor, append/get/set/has/delete).
  • Serialize: cache toString() until the list mutates; join encoded pairs instead of repeated +=.
  • Tests:test/parallel/test-whatwg-url-searchparams-fast-path.js covers leading ?, empty pairs, + / percent-decoding, invalid %, mutation cache invalidation, copy constructor isolation, record/sequence init, unpaired surrogates, and fake percent-encoding.

Tests

  • All test/parallel/test-whatwg-url-custom-searchparams*.js plus the new fast-path file
  • WPT test/wpt/test-url.js: 5107 passed, 0 unexpected failures

Local benches

Same binary family, both run with --no-node-snapshot (new JS is not in the V8 snapshot). Rates in ops/s:

BenchmarkBeforeAfter
new URLSearchParams(string) noencode~6.9M~7.3M
new URLSearchParams(string) encodemany6.9M7.5M
new URLSearchParams(iterable)9.9M10.3M
toString() noencode (repeated)7.7M~213M
toString() encodemany (repeated)4.9M~200M
get()~75M~85M
has()~52M~59M

The large toString() jump is the serialization cache: the common “build params, stringify many times / read URL.href” path no longer re-encodes an unchanged list.

Ada already has a C url_search_params API. This keeps the implementation in JS to avoid a JS/C++ call on every get/append.

This speeds up WHATWG URLSearchParams without changing observable behavior.

Independent of the new URL() parse PR (#65361).

What changed

  • Parse: walk & / = with indexOf instead of a per-character state machine. When the input has no + or %, each component is a slice of the original string. Percent-decoding still runs only when a complete %HH sequence exists, so lone % and fake sequences like stay intact.
  • USVString: skip `${value}` when the value is already a string (constructor, append/get/set/has/delete).
  • Serialize: cache toString() until the list mutates; join encoded pairs instead of repeated +=.
  • Tests:test/parallel/test-whatwg-url-searchparams-fast-path.js covers leading ?, empty pairs, + / percent-decoding, invalid %, mutation cache invalidation, copy constructor isolation, record/sequence init, unpaired surrogates, and fake percent-encoding.

Tests

  • All test/parallel/test-whatwg-url-custom-searchparams*.js plus the new fast-path file
  • WPT test/wpt/test-url.js: 5107 passed, 0 unexpected failures

Local benches

Same binary family, both run with --no-node-snapshot (new JS is not in the V8 snapshot). Rates in ops/s:

BenchmarkBeforeAfter
new URLSearchParams(string) noencode~6.9M~7.3M
new URLSearchParams(string) encodemany6.9M7.5M

toString() noencode (repeated)7.7M~213M
toString() encodemany (repeated)4.9M~200M
get()~75M~85M
has()~52M~59M

The large toString() jump is the serialization cache: the common “build params, stringify many times / read URL.href” path no longer re-encodes an unchanged list.

This speeds up WHATWG URLSearchParams without changing observable behavior.

Independent of the new URL() parse PR (#65361).

What changed

  • Parse: walk & / = with indexOf instead of a per-character state machine. When the input has no + or %, each component is a slice of the original string. Percent-decoding still runs only when a complete %HH sequence exists, so lone % and fake sequences like stay intact.
  • USVString: skip `${value}` when the value is already a string (constructor, append/get/set/has/delete).
  • Serialize: cache toString() until the list mutates; join encoded pairs instead of repeated +=.
  • Tests:test/parallel/test-whatwg-url-searchparams-fast-path.js covers leading ?, empty pairs, + / percent-decoding, invalid %, mutation cache invalidation, copy constructor isolation, record/sequence init, unpaired surrogates, and fake percent-encoding.

Tests

  • All test/parallel/test-whatwg-url-custom-searchparams*.js plus the new fast-path file
  • WPT test/wpt/test-url.js: 5107 passed, 0 unexpected failures

Local benches

Same binary family, both run with --no-node-snapshot (new JS is not in the V8 snapshot). Rates in ops/s:

BenchmarkBeforeAfter
new URLSearchParams(string) noencode~6.9M~7.3M
new URLSearchParams(string) encodemany6.9M7.5M
new URLSearchParams(iterable)9.9M10.3M
toString() noencode (repeated)7.7M~213M
toString() encodemany (repeated)4.9M~200M
get()~75M~85M
has()~52M~59M

The large toString() jump is the serialization cache: the common “build params, stringify many times / read URL.href” path no longer re-encodes an unchanged list.

Ada already has a C url_search_params API. This keeps the implementation in JS to avoid a JS/C++ call on every get/append.

This speeds up WHATWG URLSearchParams without changing observable behavior.

  • Tests:test/parallel/test-whatwg-url-searchparams-fast-path.js covers leading ?, empty pairs, + / percent-decoding, invalid %, mutation cache invalidation, copy constructor isolation, record/sequence init, unpaired surrogates, and fake percent-encoding.

Tests

  • All test/parallel/test-whatwg-url-custom-searchparams*.js plus the new fast-path file
  • WPT test/wpt/test-url.js: 5107 passed, 0 unexpected failures

This speeds up WHATWG URLSearchParams without changing observable behavior.

Independent of the new URL() parse PR (#65361).

What changed

  • Parse: walk & / = with indexOf instead of a per-character state machine. When the input has no + or %, each component is a slice of the original string. Percent-decoding still runs only when a complete %HH sequence exists, so lone % and fake sequences like stay intact.
  • USVString: skip `${value}` when the value is already a string (constructor, append/get/set/has/delete).
  • Serialize: cache toString() until the list mutates; join encoded pairs instead of repeated +=.
  • Tests:test/parallel/test-whatwg-url-searchparams-fast-path.js covers leading ?, empty pairs, + / percent-decoding, invalid %, mutation cache invalidation, copy constructor isolation, record/sequence init, unpaired surrogates, and fake percent-encoding.

Tests

  • All test/parallel/test-whatwg-url-custom-searchparams*.js plus the new fast-path file
  • WPT test/wpt/test-url.js: 5107 passed, 0 unexpected failures

Local benches

Same binary family, both run with --no-node-snapshot (new JS is not in the V8 snapshot). Rates in ops/s:

BenchmarkBeforeAfter
new URLSearchParams(string) noencode~6.9M~7.3M
new URLSearchParams(string) encodemany6.9M7.5M
new URLSearchParams(iterable)9.9M10.3M
toString() noencode (repeated)7.7M~213M
toString() encodemany (repeated)4.9M~200M
get()~75M~85M
has()~52M~59M

The large toString() jump is the serialization cache: the common “build params, stringify many times / read URL.href” path no longer re-encodes an unchanged list.

Ada already has a C url_search_params API. This keeps the implementation in JS to avoid a JS/C++ call on every get/append.

This speeds up WHATWG URLSearchParams without changing observable behavior.

Independent of the new URL() parse PR (#65361).

What changed

  • Parse: walk & / = with indexOf instead of a per-character state machine. When the input has no + or %, each component is a slice of the original string. Percent-decoding still runs only when a complete %HH sequence exists, so lone % and fake sequences like stay intact.
  • USVString: skip `${value}` when the value is already a string (constructor, append/get/set/has/delete).
  • Serialize: cache toString() until the list mutates; join encoded pairs instead of repeated +=.
  • Tests:test/parallel/test-whatwg-url-searchparams-fast-path.js covers leading ?, empty pairs, + / percent-decoding, invalid %, mutation cache invalidation, copy constructor isolation, record/sequence init, unpaired surrogates, and fake percent-encoding.

Tests

  • All test/parallel/test-whatwg-url-custom-searchparams*.js plus the new fast-path file
  • WPT test/wpt/test-url.js: 5107 passed, 0 unexpected failures

Local benches

Same binary family, both run with --no-node-snapshot (new JS is not in the V8 snapshot). Rates in ops/s:

BenchmarkBeforeAfter
new URLSearchParams(string) noencode~6.9M~7.3M
new URLSearchParams(string) encodemany6.9M7.5M

The large toString() jump is the serialization cache: the common “build params, stringify many times / read URL.href” path no longer re-encodes an unchanged list.

This speeds up WHATWG URLSearchParams without changing observable behavior.

Independent of the new URL() parse PR (#65361).

What changed

  • Parse: walk & / = with indexOf instead of a per-character state machine. When the input has no + or %, each component is a slice of the original string. Percent-decoding still runs only when a complete %HH sequence exists, so lone % and fake sequences like stay intact.
  • USVString: skip `${value}` when the value is already a string (constructor, append/get/set/has/delete).
  • Serialize: cache toString() until the list mutates; join encoded pairs instead of repeated +=.
  • Tests:test/parallel/test-whatwg-url-searchparams-fast-path.js covers leading ?, empty pairs, + / percent-decoding, invalid %, mutation cache invalidation, copy constructor isolation, record/sequence init, unpaired surrogates, and fake percent-encoding.

Tests

  • All test/parallel/test-whatwg-url-custom-searchparams*.js plus the new fast-path file
  • WPT test/wpt/test-url.js: 5107 passed, 0 unexpected failures

Local benches

Same binary family, both run with --no-node-snapshot (new JS is not in the V8 snapshot). Rates in ops/s:

BenchmarkBeforeAfter
new URLSearchParams(string) noencode~6.9M~7.3M
new URLSearchParams(string) encodemany6.9M7.5M
new URLSearchParams(iterable)9.9M10.3M
toString() noencode (repeated)7.7M~213M
toString() encodemany (repeated)4.9M~200M
get()~75M~85M
has()~52M~59M

The large toString() jump is the serialization cache: the common “build params, stringify many times / read URL.href” path no longer re-encodes an unchanged list.

Ada already has a C url_search_params API. This keeps the implementation in JS to avoid a JS/C++ call on every get/append.

new URLSearchParams(string) noencode~6.9M~7.3M
new URLSearchParams(string) encodemany6.9M7.5M
new URLSearchParams(iterable)9.9M10.3M
toString() noencode (repeated)7.7M~213M
toString() encodemany (repeated)4.9M~200M
get()~75M~85M
has()~52M~59M

The large toString() jump is the serialization cache: the common “build params, stringify many times / read URL.href” path no longer re-encodes an unchanged list.

Ada already has a C url_search_params API. This keeps the implementation in JS to avoid a JS/C++ call on every get/append.

Parse query strings with indexOf instead of a per-character state
machine, skip ToString when values are already strings, cache
toString() until the list mutates, and join serialized pairs.

Leave lone '%' and non-hex percent sequences intact so serialization
matches the previous parser, and use native indexOf/slice/push on
the query-string hot path.
