Read the Form Data tab#

A form-encoded body becomes one row per field, which is far easier to scan than the raw bytes.

The Form Data tab appears in the inspector when the selected request was submitted as a form. It shows the body in a more readable form than the raw bytes on the Request tab.

Which content types show the tab#

GraphDagger adds the tab when the request's Content-Type header is one of:

application/x-www-form-urlencoded
multipart/form-data

For any other content type, GraphDagger hides the tab.

How the fields are listed#

Each form field is one row, with its name and value. For multipart bodies, the file fields show the original filename and reported MIME type next to the raw value.

When to read this tab#

The Form Data tab is the easiest way to read a posted form, above all when the form has dozens of fields or long values. For everything else (other content types, raw bytes, JSON), use the Request tab.
