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

i can't use the second solution due to there is a lot of different parameter being put into an array with comma delimeter. Then that array should be put into a param. Sorry for my bad explanation. I will show an example to you how my api work.

https://<URL>?param={"firstname":"xxx","lastname":"zzz","address":"abc","phoneNumber":123456,"state":"LA","country":"us"}
