Do I need to include the ? prefix?

No, the leading ? is optional. Both ?key=value and key=value are handled correctly.

How are repeated parameters handled?

If the same key appears more than once (e.g. tag=js&tag=ts), the values are collected into a JSON array: {"tag":["js","ts"]}.

Are URL-encoded characters decoded?

Yes. The parser uses URLSearchParams internally, which automatically decodes percent-encoded characters such as %20 (space) and %2F (slash).
