Given the following HTML form:

<form id="myform">
  Company: <input type="text" name="Company" value="ACME, INC."/>
  First Name: <input type="text" name="Contact.FirstName" value="Daffy"/>
  Last Name: <input type="text" name="Contact.LastName" value="Duck"/>
</form>

What is the best way serialize this form in javascript to a JSON object in the format:

{
  Company:"ACME, INC.",
  Contact:{FirstName:"Daffy", LastName:"Duck"}
}

Also note that there might be more than 1 "." sign in the field name.
