this aint StackOverFlow but I need a tiny help here, I'm receiving data result from an API that is formatted as x-www-form-urlencoded, do I add a valid url at the beginning and use URI parser in Android or is there some other solution for it?

Sample of the result I'm receiving:

repositoryId=TEST&response.gatewayCode=BASIC_VERIFICATION_SUCCESSFUL&result=SUCCESS&sourceOfFunds.provided.card.brand=MASTERCARD

.

Why not just split by & then by = and url decode the fields?

@hash-table unfortunately this is for Java and also for Swift
I could convert that JavaScript code, but it is not worth the trouble unless there is no solution for it unless I convert it to JSON

@kurtr that's what I'm doing right now, but thought there is a better way. But my concern is I need to add multiple "If/else" to reach what I want, while if it is a "getByName("")" I think would be faster or at least easier to maintain than many ifs

@hash-table That's what I'm thinking of, I don't understand why they'd return such format for a long result, if I split it to lines, it takes 65 lines, think it is easier to handle when in JSON

@gitpush If you can't find a built in function it's better to just cook up your own and wrap it in a small library. Shame man you've been fighting mastercard for a while now! Looking at your excerpts it's safe to say the dev who wrote that "API"-cough might have a teeny meth problem.

@hash-table I've been noticing that lol hope I don't have to work with it again ...

@kurtr The problem with Mastercard is they have either a REST API or an NVP API (Name value pair)
I've been trying to integrate with the REST API to end up after a month knowing that client requested the NVP approach and the provider didn't tell us that until last week -.-

What I even don't understand is, I have set Content-Type as JSON in-hope they'd see it and return in the same format, but I guess no. I have no clue why they are returning it like that. Unless I'm missing something in their docs

@gitpush Sadly I haven't done an integration directly with someone like mastercard in around 6 years but honestly thats a fucked up way to return data - especially for a payment provider.

@kurtr true, though they were kind enough to include a dot for example: sourceOfFunds.Type
instead of
sourceOfFundsType

@GodHatesMe I was hoping for another because that response is huge for a URL if I split it into lines it takes 65, but I'll give it a go and hope it doesn't crash

@GodHatesMe a clean desktop is more important than a clean room :P

@GodHatesMe take your time my friend I was just joking about the clean desktop thing 😅😀

Build a parser in Python or Node and upload it to a middle server.

@clovisIrex ain't no engineering like over engineering 😂
