Ah, those blind three-way introductions. Such fond memories!

Replying to @rodneyrehm

I know it can be optimised but that’s not the point. It should just be s.replace(/(?<!\r)\n/g, "\r\n") like in all decent langs.

Replying to @rodneyrehm

It’s weird. I miss the s flag too, the workarounds for . not matching \n aren’t so readable.

The spec is a bit, well, spec-like. There’s also code at darobin.github.io/formic/json/.

Replying to @domenic

It depends on what you want. You can get a form data set any time. But getting one equivalent to what... @briankardell @wycats

Replying to @briankardell

I have thought about form@src but that requires a fair few features that we don’t have yet. @wycats @domenic
