jquery.serializeObject.js

//
// Use internal $.serializeArray to get list of form elements which is
// consistent with $.serialize
//
// From version 2.0.0, $.serializeObject will stop converting [name] values
// to camelCase format. This is *consistent* with other serialize methods:
//
//   - $.serialize
//   - $.serializeArray
//
// If you require camel casing, you can either download version 1.0.4 or map
// them yourself.
