Question

I am using DOJO 1.8 iand spring mvc. I want to convert my form fields to JSON objects and pass it to the controller. Using DOJO dom-form.toObject(“myForm1”) i am able to pass the Json to the controller if it is a simple object.

If my model object is having inner objects then the .toObject() is not able to convert that into nested JSON objects.

var formObject1 = domForm.toObject("myForm1");
    alert("hi");
    require(["dojo/json"], function(JSON){
        postData = JSON.stringify(formObject1);
    });

    dojo.byId("testdiv").innerHTML = postData;

and the Json I am getting is

{“firstName”:”12345″,”middleName”:”Joanna”,”lastName”:”Eliza”,”address.addrLine1″:”add1″,”address.addrLine2″:”add2″,”address.addrLine3″:”add3″,”email”:”12345″}

But I need as below,

{“firstName”:”12345″,”middleName”:”Joanna”,”lastName”:”Eliza”,“address”:{“addrLine1″:”add1″,”addrLine2″:”add2″,”addrLine3″:”add3”},”email”:”12345″}

Does DOJO support this type of JSON conversion?
