Question

I’m interested how does google encode POST params.
In one of a application I’ve found the following approach, let say I have the following object:

selection={"ty":"mc","cl":{"loc_type":0,"si":9,"aps":false},"sr":[]}

In POST request it takes the following form:

 selection=%7B%22ty%22%3A%22mc%22%2C%22cl%22%3A%7B%22loc_type%22%3A0%2C%22si%22%3A9%2C%22aps%22%3Afalse%7D%2C%22sr%22%3A%5B%5D%7D

Which is method is applied here?

Answer 1

The same effect can be achieved by using encodeURIComponent and JSON.stringify functions:

"selection=" + encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(selection))
