Alena Prokharchyk commented on CLOUDSTACK-3685:
-----------------------------------------------
We have to be careful and provide backwards compatibility for existing API
users. So whoever implements a new approach, should leave the support for the
old style too.
> APIServer should have a better way for user to pass Map-like parameter

> Project: CloudStack
> Issue Type: Bug
> Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the
> default.)
> Components: API
> Affects Versions: pre-4.0.0
> Reporter: Min Chen
> Fix For: Future
>
>
> Currently to pass a Map parameter to api command, we have to pass it like
> this:
> details[0].key=key1_name&details[0].value=key1_value&details[1].key=key2_name&details[1].value=key2_value...
> Furthermore, ".key" and ".value" are not in our convention at all, so api
> writer can choose different modifier. This input is very hard to read. We
> need to have a better way to input Map-like parameter, either json or simple
> key=value structure.
