does karate support send an array of parameter in URL param as one of my API was working as this way. Below was one of my API test url concept. It working fine when i do manually on postman. Not sure whether karate support this kind of format or not.
https<URL>?param={"firstname":"XXX","lastname":"XXX"....}
i have tried with param and params. however params will give me & instead of ,. while in param , it will show ?param=%7B%firstname%22%3A%22abc...
Karate can support it, I am still not clear what your request is from your question but let me try. Note that as per the HTTP spec - some special characters WILL be URL-encoded.
Try these:
And param param = '{"firstname":"XXX","lastname":"XXX"}'
And param firstName = ['XXX', 'XXX']
See this demo example for more ideas: params.feature
EDIT: if you need to create dynamic JSON that is possible, please read the docs for the set keyword. And below the JSON is being converted to a string - because that is what it looks like from your description (which I really doesn't make sense to me)
* set data
| path | value |
| firstName | 'XXX' |
| lastName | 'XXX' |
* string data = data
* param param = data
https://<URL>?param={"firstname":"xxx","lastname":"zzz","address":"abc","phoneNumber":123456,"state":"LA","country":"us"}
