Should encodeURIComponent be used to encode parameters of post ajax request?

Assuming your request is using the content type application/x-www-form-urlencoded, then yes, it should — POST fields are also in name value pairs, just like GET requests. Special characters like &, =, [, ], etc need to be encoded just the same.
