#5095 # Q&A

• OS: Ubuntu
• Browser: chrome
• Version: 22
• Method of installation: Java
• Swagger-UI version: 3.10.0
• Swagger/OpenAPI version: Swagger 2.0, OpenAPI 3.0

I just need to be able to pass special characters like (: < >&&..) on Query param for request,
Like for example following implementation for @paramter:
@Parameter( in = ParameterIn.QUERY, description = "Enter search query.", name = "search", schema = @Schema( type = "string", pattern = "name:value", defaultValue = "name:value" ) )

But when i make request from UI, this pattren (name:value) converted into (name%3Avalue) and this will not give me correct response.

So is there any way to force Swagger to accept these special symbols on URLs ?

Hi, swagger-ui handles serialization of reserved characters based on the api definition. You can use 'style' and 'explode' options to set a desired serialization method. For more information, please take a took at https://swagger.io/docs/specification/serialization/
