Convert a flat JSON object to x-www-form-urlencoded

As captioned:

 

def jsonData = '''
{
	"name":"John",
	"age":30,
	"city":"New York"	
}
'''
def slurper = new groovy.json.JsonSlurper().parseText(jsonData)
def str = new StringBuilder()
def iter = slurper.keySet().iterator()
while(iter.hasNext()){
	def key = iter.next().toString()
	def value = slurper.get(key).toString().trim().replaceAll(" ","20%")
	str.append("$key=$value&")
}
log.info str[0..str.size()-2]

    Great solution, aaronpliu!

     

    For convenience, let me quote the initial task for the community members:

     

    "Convert a flat JSON object to x-www-form-urlencoded

    Create a Groovy script, which transforms a non-nested JSON object to the x-www-form-urlencoded format before sending it in the request body.

    Example: converting this object

    {
      "name": "John",
      "age": 30,
      "city": "New York"
    }

    should result in the name=John&age=30&city=New%20York string."
