# This query parameter just happens to be named "json" and contains JSON text.
req.AddParam("json",jsonStr)

# We can optionally add more query parameters. 
req.AddParam("abc","123")
req.AddParam("xml","<abc>123</abc>")

# Note: Just because we passed a query param named "json" or "xml" means nothing special.  It's still just
# a name=value query parameter..
