FormData

View on MDN ↗

Available in workers

The FormData interface provides a way to construct a set of key/value pairs representing form fields and their values, which can be sent using the fetch(), send() or sendBeacon() methods. It uses the same format a form would use if the encoding type were set to "multipart/form-data".

You can also pass it directly to the URLSearchParams constructor if you want to generate query parameters in the way a <form> would do if it were using simple GET submission.

An object implementing FormData can directly be used in a for...of structure, instead of entries(): for (const p of myFormData) is equivalent to for (const p of myFormData.entries()).
