you can use this function for have an object or a JSON from form.

for use it:

var object = formService.getObjectFormFields("#idform");

 function  getObjectFormFields(formSelector)
        {
            /// 
Função que retorna objeto com base nas propriedades name dos elementos do formulário.
            /// Seletor do formulário

            var form = $(formSelector);

            var result = {};
            var arrayAuxiliar = [];
            form.find(":input:text").each(function (index, element)
            {
                var name = $(element).attr('name');

                var value = $(element).val();
                result[name] = value;
            });

            form.find(":input[type=hidden]").each(function (index, element)
            {
                var name = $(element).attr('name');
                var value = $(element).val();
                result[name] = value;
            });


            form.find(":input:checked").each(function (index, element)
            {
                var name;
                var value;
                if ($(this).attr("type") == "radio")
                {
                    name = $(element).attr('name');
                    value = $(element).val();
                    result[name] = value;
                }
                else if ($(this).attr("type") == "checkbox")
                {
                    name = $(element).attr('name');
                    value = $(element).val();
                    if (result[name])
                    {
                        if (Array.isArray(result[name]))
                        {
                            result[name].push(value);
                        } else
                        {
                            var aux = result[name];
                            result[name] = [];
                            result[name].push(aux);
                            result[name].push(value);
                        }

                    } else
                    {
                        result[name] = [];
                        result[name].push(value);
                    }
                }

            });

            form.find("select option:selected").each(function (index, element)
            {
                var name = $(element).parent().attr('name');
                var value = $(element).val();
                result[name] = value;

            });

            arrayAuxiliar = [];
            form.find("checkbox:checked").each(function (index, element)
            {
                var name = $(element).attr('name');
                var value = $(element).val();
                result[name] = arrayAuxiliar.push(value);
            });

            form.find("textarea").each(function (index, element)
            {
                var name = $(element).attr('name');
                var value = $(element).val();
                result[name] = value;
            });

            return result;
        }
