Keyword-value pair encoding

Request encoding introduces two encoding methods. The first uses XML as the encoding language. The second method uses keyword-value pairs to encode the various parameters of a request. This section describes how to encode WFS operations using the standard CGI style of keyword-value pairs. This means that parameters consist of name-value pairs in the form of "name=value" and the pairs are separated by the "&" character. This form of encoding is also known as URL-Encoding.
