As to the REST service of SuperMap iServer, there are two methods for the passing of the HTTP request parameters.

Below is the demonstration for passing parameters with the two methods.

Parameter name Parameter value (Json) Parameter value (XML)

A

 value_a Value_A

B

 value_b Value_B

1 URI query parameters

URI query parameters are placed at the end of the URI absolute path, beginning with "?", in the form of "parameter name = parameter value", separated with "&", listed in no particular order. The URI is as follows:

http://supermapiserver:8090/iserver/services/components-rest/rest/sample.json?A=value_a&B=value_b

where A and B are parameter names corresponding to the parameter values value_a and value_b.

Note: The value of URI query parameter can only be in JSON format.

2 Request body parameters

Request body parameters are parameters passed in the entity-body. The request body parameters can be in both JSON or XML format.

The server judges the type of the request body parameter by the X-RequestEntity-ContentType header in the HTTP request, and parses the parameters based on the result. If X-RequestEntity-ContentType is application/json, the server considers the format of the request body parameter as JSON; if it is application/xml, the format will be considered as XML. If X-RequestEntity-ContentType doesn't exist, the format will be considered as JSON by default.

JSON format:

{"A":value_a,"B":value_b}

XML format:

<Object>

        <A>Value_A</A>

        <A>Value_A</A>

</Object>
