First prepare URLSearchParams object and add key value pairs.
Send the RequestOptions to Angular http service.

final url format will be
{{API-URL}}/api/folders/370/documents?filter={ 'startDate':'08/01/2005', 'endDate':'08/31/2005','currentPage': '2', 'pageLimit': '50'}

import {Http, Headers, RequestOptions, Response, ResponseContentType, URLSearchParams} from "@angular/http";
@Injectable()
export class DocumentService
{
constructor(private http: Http)
{
}
loadDocuments(folderId: number, currentPage: number) : Observable<Response>
{
let headers = new Headers({
'Content-Type' : 'application/json',
'Accept': 'application/json'
});
let requestOptions = new RequestOptions({headers});
requestOptions.params = this.getFilterData(currentPage);
let path = "folders/"+folderId+"/documents";
return this.http.get(appConstants.apiUrl+ path, requestOptions );
}
private getFilterData(currentPage: number) : any
{
let params: URLSearchParams = new URLSearchParams();
let filterValue = JSON.stringify( {currentPage: currentPage, pageLimit: 50 });
params.set('filter', filterValue);

On the API Side
Got the query parameter and deserialize to ViewModel
Your server side ViewModel matches your JSON object sent in the request.

var filterData = Request.GetQueryNameValuePairs();
if (filterData == null || !filterData.Any())
{
throw new ArgumentException("Invalid request: search parameters are missing.");
}
var viewModel = JsonConvert.DeserializeObjectfilterData.First().Value);
