jquery-prototype-serializer

jquery-prototype-serializer is a jQuery plugin that allows you to serialize forms as objects, equivalently to the Prototype serialize(true) call. This can be useful when porting front-end code from Prototype.js to jQuery when back-end code expects a serialized object.

To use, simply include the plugin's .js file in your project, and then, wherever you previously were using:

$('foo').serialize(true)    // Here $ is Prototype's selector function.

You can now instead use:

$('#foo').serializeToObject()  // Here $ is jQuery's selector function.

That's all there is to it!
