Best way to pass String array values through URL

Question

I need to pass a string array content through URL. The String array can contain 100 - 10000 values. I got the similar question link but problem in my case it contains large amount of data.

Using comma (,) is the best way to pass the values or is there any other way to solve this problem.

I am using this in javascript function where String array contains all the selected checkbox list values.

<script type="text/javascript">
function doResend(){
var checkboxes = document.getElementsByName('selectedId');
var vals = "";
for (var i=0, n=checkboxes.length;i<n;i++) {
  if (checkboxes[i].checked){
    vals += ","+checkboxes[i].value;
  }
}
if (vals){
vals = vals.substring(1);
window.open('resendSelectedSMS.do?smsId='+vals,"mywindow","status=1, height=335, width=400',resizable=0");
}else{
alert("Select atleast one id");
}
}
</script>

Why not store in session, and pass them. using sessionStorage — Dot_NET Pro

If I were you, I'd pass that as POST, instead of GET. POST can contain much more data than a GET can. Maybe this post will help. — MisterBla

Agree that post can send and fetch much more data , also it works in the background , no need to visualize your data , because sometimes you need to pass private ones. — ProllyGeek

Best method is using get - post :

something that looks like that :

/test/demo_form.asp?name1=value1&name2=value2

You'd be better off NOT getting your information from W3S.

/test/demo_form.asp?name1=value1&name2=value2 this is not good way as i already told it can contains thousands of values.
