If I understood you, you want to send a json object using the url itself (that is, as a parameter). If security doesn't matter you (it will be visible), you could just encode using [Base64][1].

You should probably play with your json object to convert it to a byte[], called jsonbytes, for instance, then use Base64.encodeToString(jsonbytes, Base64.URL_SAFE) and sending this as a parameter.

Your server then should convert this Base64 encoded string into a json object, which tends to be straightforward if you're using PHP:

$jsonString = base64_decode($_GET['json']);
$json = json_decode($jsonString, TRUE);

This will give you an associative array in PHP. If you just want the json string, skip the last step.
