I have a serialized form:

formObj = $("#form_add").serialize();

Then I created wrapped object with two objects (one is object, the second is string formObj):

var json = {};
var wrapperObj = {json: json, form: formObj};

After all I pass this object to data parameter:

data: JSON.stringify(wrapperObj)

How to build object from serialized string formObj in the following line?

var wrapperObj = {json: json, form: formObj};

Must you send in json format? If endpoint accepts form encoded data can just send `data:formObj` – charlietfl Dec 12 '17 at 20:02
Yes, I need to send JSON – Alice Dec 12 '17 at 20:06
One object is form data another is object in JS – Alice Dec 12 '17 at 20:09

serialize does not return an object...it returns a form endcoded string. Try https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1184624/convert-form-data-to-javascript-object-with-jquery/8407771#8407771 – charlietfl Dec 12 '17 at 20:10
Why it is so hard to do? Can I make this using native JS? – Alice Dec 12 '17 at 20:16
It's not hard. Copy the code in answer in link above...and stringify the result. Much simpler if endpoint uses form encoding...even if it returns json – charlietfl Dec 12 '17 at 20:23
Yes, it works, thanks – Alice Dec 12 '17 at 20:27
