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...
By the way, #explainlikeimfive is generally intended for questions of a general nature where you want to understand the "big idea" or the "view from above" for a given topic. For a more specific technical question like this one, I'd recommend using #help instead - thanks!
