Question

I have an object like this:

var queryObject= {
      name: 'Shwetanka',
      subjects: ['Mathematics', 'Physics', 'Computers'],
      stream: 'science'
    };

When I create query string with this using $.param(queryObject) I get this as query string:

name=Shwetanka&subjects%5B%5D=Mathematics&subjects%5B%5D=Physics&subjects%5B%5D=Computers&stream=science

Expected: name=Shwetanka&subjects=Mathematics&subjects=Physics&subjects=Computers&stream=science

How do avoid [] added by the method in the query string for params with same name. In the backend I’m using struts2 to read params.

Answer 1

I’ve found the solution. I just have to pass ‘traditional=true’ in $.param(queryObject, true). This generates the query string i want.
