+_"Backbone.Syphon aims to make it easy to serialize the fields of a Backbone.View into a simple JSON object that contains all of the values."_
+
+To easily serialize forms fields into a JSON representation with Orchestra, follow this API:
+
+```
+Orchestra.LayoutView.extend({
+  events: {
+    "submit form": "formSubmitted"
+  },
+  formSubmitted: function(e){
+    e.preventDefault();
+    var data = Backbone.Syphon.serialize(this);
+  },
+});
