 ## Motivation
 
-There are many ways to lay out forms.
+Forms are used to package related data, typically sent to an external location or processed internally. In the browser,
+the default behavior of submitting form data is not always preferred, as this is done through loading a document,
+typically the same document, as soon as the form is submitted. In addition, [applications have limited control over how
+the data are formatted on submission](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/form-control-infrastructure.html#dom-fs-enctype)
+with this approach. This is why the new way of sending form data is done through AJAX/fetch requests, wherein the data
+are serialized into formats like JSON. To turn form data into a specific format requires access to the elements holding
+the values to each field in the form.
+
+Some libraries for extracting form values query field elements in the DOM, which is inefficient since they need to
+traverse the DOM tree in some way, using methods such as `document.getElementsByTagName()` and
+`document.querySelector()`.
+
+Upon retrieving the field values somehow, some libraries attempt to duplicate the values of the fields as they change,
+for instance by attaching event listeners and storing the new values into some internal object or map, which can be
+retrieved by some other exposed function.
+
+With `formxtr`, there is no need to traverse the DOM for individual fields to get their values. Provided the fields are
+associated to the form (either as a descendant of the `<form>` element or [associated through the `form=""`
+attribute](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/form-control-infrastructure.html#attr-fae-form)) and has a valid
+`name`, the values of these fields can be easily extracted, using the `form.elements` attribute built-in to the DOM and
+used for getting its currently associated fields. With this, only the reference to the form is needed. The current state
+of the field elements are already stored in the DOM, waiting to be accessed.
