How to Post JSON Array/string value?

Question

I need to post some values to a REST service. I'm using POSTMAN rest client for my test and i can post string, integer, boolean values to rest service there is no problem. But i could not post array values ;

I am using this parameter, this parameter is working except Array values ;

{
"parameters": [
    {
      "type": "string",
      "name": "nameandsurname",
      "value": {"string":{ "value": "myname"}}
    },
    {
      "type": "Array/string",
      "name": "arrayvariable",
      **"value": {"string":{ "value": "value1"}}** This line is not working...
    }
  ]
}

Do you expect an attribute called string in your JSON model in the backend? I mean this JSON is valid but what is your expected JSON format? — cнŝdk

So you need to name it accordingly in your JSON, change it from "value": {"string":{ "value": "myname"}} to "value": {"arrayvariable":[ "value": "myname"}] also use [] for array instead of {}. — cнŝdk

In Postman you can post JSON this way:

Select method POST
In section Body choose raw and content-type JSON(application/json)
Paster your JSON into Body

You can download this export from Postman and try it https://www.dropbox.com/s/ulmoc8n8gmgb076/tests.postman_collection.json?dl=0
