You need to build query from "data" object using the following function
function buildQuery(obj) {
var Result= '';
if(typeof(obj)== 'object') {
jQuery.each(obj, function(key, value) {
Result+= (Result) ? '&' : '';
if(typeof(value)== 'object' && value.length) {
for(var i=0; i<value.length; i++) {
Result+= [key+'[]', encodeURIComponent(value[i])].join('=');
}
} else {
Result+= [key, encodeURIComponent(value)].join('=');
}
});
}
return Result;
}
and then proceed with
var data= {
"subject:title":"Test Name",
"subject:description":"Creating test subject to check POST method API",
"sub:tags": ["facebook:work, facebook:likes"],
"sampleSize" : 10,
"values": ["science", "machine-learning"]
}
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: "http://localhost:8080/project/server/rest/subjects",
data: buildQuery(data),
error: function(e) {
console.log(e);
}
});
