Note: Almost everything is url encoded and json stringifies.

Normally this gets handled in the decode stage but in upload make sure to use getParam_______() whitch probably does it right.

If you insist on implementing this yourself il use the mapinfo as an example.

    function getParamMapinfo() {
        let z = map.getZoom()
        let c = map.getCenter()

        let a = [z, c.lat, c.lng] ; // as you can see here we make an array before


        return "mapinfo=" + encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(a))
        // then we stringify the array and finally encode it for safe usage in urls.
    }

    /**
    *
    * @param a [zoom, lat, lng]
    * @return {zoom, latlng: {lat, lng}}
    */
    function mapinfoToZoomLatLng(a) {
        return {
        zoom: a[0],
        latlng: L.latLng(a[1], a[2])
        }
    }
    function setMapinfo(params) {

        try {
        let a = JSON.parse(p.mapinfo); // and so finally here we get string already decoded and simply need to parse the json
        if (!Array.isArray(a) || a.length !== 3) {
        console.log("No param or invalid json")
        }
        // let {zoom, latlng} = mapinfoToZoomLatLng(a);
        let zoom = a.shift();

        map.panTo(L.latLng(a))
        map.setZoom(zoom)

        } catch (e) {
        // note error catching invalid encoded json
        console.error("Invaled mapinfo doing nothing [zoom, lat, lon]")
        }

    }

    // we asume this line has ran elsewhere.
    // let p = Object.fromEntries(new URL(location).searchParams.entries());
    if (p && p.mapinfo) {
        setMapinfo(p) ; // in the loading step we assume we have already decodes our params as the URLSearchParams object does that.
    }
