How to pass a JSON array as a parameter in URL
I know this could be a later post, but, for new visitors I will share my solution, as the OP was asking for a way to pass a JSON object via GET (not POST as suggested in other answers).
- Take the JSON object and convert it to string (JSON.stringify)
- Take the string and encode it in Base64 (you can find some useful info on this here
- Append it to the URL and make the GET call
- Reverse the process. decode and parse it into an object
I have used this in some cases where I only can do GET calls and it works. Also, this solution is practically cross language.
I would suggest to pass the JSON data in the body as a POST
request.But if you still want to pass this as a parameter in URL,you will have to encode your URL like below just for example:-
for ex json is :->{"name":"ABC","id":"1"}
testurl:80/service?data=%7B%22name%22%3A%22ABC%22%2C%22id%22%3A%221%22%7D
