Dynamic Form with JSON Submission

Yes, this is definitely possible. Here's how you can create a dynamic form that adds text fields when clicking an ADD button and submits the data as JSON:

HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Dynamic Form Fields</title>
    <style>
        .form-row {
            margin-bottom: 10px;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <h2>Dynamic Form</h2>
    
    <form id="dynamicForm">
        <div id="form-fields">
            <!-- Initial field -->
            <div class="form-row">
                <input type="text" name="field1" placeholder="Enter value">
            </div>
        </div>
        
        <button type="button" id="addField">ADD</button>
        <button type="submit">Submit</button>
    </form>
    
    <script>
        let fieldCount = 1;
        
        // Add new field when ADD button is clicked
        document.getElementById('addField').addEventListener('click', function() {
            fieldCount++;
            
            const newField = document.createElement('div');
            newField.className = 'form-row';
            newField.innerHTML = `<input type="text" name="field${fieldCount}" placeholder="Enter value">`;
            
            document.getElementById('form-fields').appendChild(newField);
        });
        
        // Handle form submission
        document.getElementById('dynamicForm').addEventListener('submit', function(e) {
            e.preventDefault();
            
            const formData = {};
            const inputs = document.querySelectorAll('#form-fields input');
            
            inputs.forEach(input => {
                formData[input.name] = input.value;
            });
            
            // Convert to JSON
            const jsonData = JSON.stringify(formData);
            
            // Here you would send the data to your backend
            console.log('Form data as JSON:', jsonData);
            
            // Example of sending to backend using fetch
            /*
            fetch('/your-backend-endpoint', {
                method: 'POST',
                headers: {
                    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
                },
                body: jsonData
            })
            .then(response => response.json())
            .then(data => console.log('Success:', data))
            .catch(error => console.error('Error:', error));
            */
        });
    </script>
</body>
</html>

This code:

Creates a form with an initial text field
Adds a new text field with a unique name when the ADD button is clicked
On form submission, collects all field values into a JSON object
Prevents the default form submission and instead prepares the data as JSON
Includes commented code showing how you would send this to your backend using fetch

The resulting JSON will have the format you requested: {'field1': value1, 'field2': value2, ...}

You can customize the styling and add validation as needed for your specific requirements.
