Finding jquery plugin to serialize form to object
I'm looking for a jQuery function or plugin that serializes form input to an object using the deep serialization naming convention supported by param () in jQuery 1.4:
<form>
<input name="a[b]" value="1"/>
<input name="a[c]" value="2"/>
<input name="d[]" value="3"/>
<input name="d[]" value="4"/>
<input name="d[2][e]" value="5"/>
</form>
$('form').serializeObject(); // { a: { b:"1",c:"2" }, d: ["3","4",{ e:"5" }] }
The Prototype Form.serialize method can do just that. What's the jQuery equivalent? I found this plugin , but it doesn't follow this naming convention.

Since there didn't seem to be any existing libraries that achieved what I was looking for, I kneaded bits from several existing libraries that did similar things:
- JQuery.deparam function from jQuery BBQ
- JQuery.serializeObject function mentioned in the question.
Both are Ben Alman . Thanks Ben!

Possibly late, but there the jQuery plugin does what you need.
