Support for POST data in javascript

Question

Are there any libraries that support creation of the post data for XMLHTTPRequest in javascript. consider the sending of post data as follows.

var http = new XMLHttpRequest();
var url = "get_data.php";
var params = "lorem=ipsum&name=binny";
http.open("POST", url, true);

//Send the proper header information along with the request
http.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
http.setRequestHeader("Content-length", params.length);
http.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");

http.onreadystatechange = function() {//Call a function when the state changes.
    if(http.readyState == 4 && http.status == 200) {
        alert(http.responseText);
    }
}
http.send(params);

Send POST data using XMLHttpRequest

I am wondering if there is a better way to assembling the data in the form(as opposed to string concatenation). var params = "lorem=ipsum&name=binny";

Well in the end you are going to have to make it a string... There are multiple ways to build the string. — epascarello

What about JQuery.param()? See http://api.jquery.com/jquery.param/.

var params = { 
   lorem:ipsum, 
   name:binny 
};
var str = jQuery.param( params );
// str = lorem=ipsum&name=binny

Another, this time, vanilla JavaScript solution would come from this post.
