# NSURLQueryItem

An object representing a single name/value pair for an item in the query portion of a URL.

## Declaration

```swift
class NSURLQueryItem
```

## Overview

Overview In Swift, this object bridges to URLQueryItem; use NSURLQueryItem when you need reference semantics or other Foundation-specific behavior. You use query items with the queryItems property of an NSURLComponents object. important: The Swift overlay to the Foundation framework provides the URLQueryItem structure, which bridges to the NSURLQueryItem class. For more information about value types, see Working with Foundation Types.
