The process of substituting querystring.stringify with URLSearchParams involves the following steps:

  1. Import the URLSearchParams module at the beginning of your JavaScript file using the following code:
const { URLSearchParams } = require('url');
  1. Replace all instances of querystring.stringify in your code with URLSearchParams as shown in the following example:
// Using querystring.stringify
const queryString = querystring.stringify({name: 'John', age: 30});

// Using URLSearchParams
const urlSearchParams = new URLSearchParams({name: 'John', age: 30});
const queryString = urlSearchParams.toString();
  1. If your code uses querystring.parse to parse query strings, you can replace it with the URLSearchParams constructor as shown in the following example:
// Using querystring.parse
const queryObject = querystring.parse('name=John&age=30');

// Using URLSearchParams
const urlSearchParams = new URLSearchParams('name=John&age=30');
const queryObject = Object.fromEntries(urlSearchParams.entries());
  1. Update any references to querystring in your code, such as require statements or function parameters, to use the URLSearchParams module instead.

Note that the URLSearchParams module is only available in newer versions of Node.js and modern browsers. If you need to support older browsers, you may need to use a polyfill or fallback solution.
