------------------------------------

             Summary: APIServer should have a better way for user to pass Map-like parameter
                 Key: CLOUDSTACK-3685
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-3685
             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.
