How to use

Form:

<form id="form1">
    <input type="text" name="username" value="my user name" />

    <fieldset name="address">
        <input type="text" name="street" value="654, test street" />
        <input type="text" name="country" value="Brazil" />
    </fieldset>

    <fieldset name="contact">
        <input type="text" name="email" value="contact@mysite.com" />
        <fieldset name="phones">
            <input type="text" name="primary" value="+55 51 123456789" />
            <input type="text" name="mobile" value="+55 51 987654987" />
        </fieldset>
    </fieldset>

    <input type="submit" />
</form>

Code:

$(document).ready(() => {
    $("#form1").submit(event => {
        event.preventDefault()

        let data = $("#form1").serializeFields()
        console.log(JSON.stringify(data))
    })
})
