Query String

A query string is a part added to an URL resource to pass form data, options, settings or other parameters to the executing web service.

Syntax

In a typical implementation, parameters are indicated by this syntax:

Separator	Parameter	Assignator	Value
?	name	=	value

Multiple parameters are separated with &.

Examples:

For the URL http://example.com/path/to/page, parameters could look like this:

http://example.com/path/to/page?name=value

http://example.com/path/to/page?first=this&then=that
