You can go with:

uri = URI.parse('http://example.com/index?book_id%5B%5D=35&lang_id%5B%5D=1&category_id=3')
params = Rack::Utils.parse_nested_query u.query
#=> {"book_id"=>["35"], "lang_id"=>["1"], "category_id"=>"3"}

Now you are left with translating keys to readable name. Normally you could use humanize method, however it won't work as requested:

'book_id'.humanize #=> 'Book'

Most likely you will need to fall back onto I18n to handle the translation.
