How can I convert an HTML form to such JSON structure?
I thought I would find an straight forward answer, but I haven't.
I'm not a front-end developer, but my co-workers do use JavaScript and jQuery, if that's needed. (sadly we do not use React or Angular)

I found this answer on stackoverflow, which I think addresses what you want to do.
It recommends using
$('form').serializeArray()in jQuery - see serializeArray.Once you have that object, you can use javascript to create a copy that has any modifications you might want to make before sending it to the backend API...
