+## Forms
+
+`urequest` supports `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` and `multipart/form-data` form uploads.
+<!-- For `multipart/related` refer to the `multipart` API. -->
+
+#### application/x-www-form-urlencoded (URL-Encoded Forms)
+
+URL-encoded forms are simple.
+
+```js
+request.post('http://service.com/upload', {form:{key:'value'}})
+// or
+request.post({url:'http://service.com/upload', form: {key:'value'}}, function(err,httpResponse,body){ /* ... */ })
+```
+<!--
+// or
+request.post('http://service.com/upload').form({key:'value'})
+-->
+
+
+#### multipart/form-data (Multipart Form Uploads)
+
+For `multipart/form-data` we use the [form-data](https://github.com/form-data/form-data) library by [@felixge](https://github.com/felixge). For the most cases, you can pass your upload form data via the `formData` option.
+
+
+```js
+var formData = {
+  // Pass a simple key-value pair
+  my_field: 'my_value',
+  // Pass data via Buffers
+  my_buffer: Buffer.from([1, 2, 3]),
+  // Pass data via Streams
+  my_file: fs.createReadStream(__dirname + '/unicycle.jpg'),
+  // Pass multiple values /w an Array
+  attachments: [
+    fs.createReadStream(__dirname + '/attachment1.jpg'),
+    fs.createReadStream(__dirname + '/attachment2.jpg')
+  ],
+  // Pass optional meta-data with an 'options' object with style: {value: DATA, options: OPTIONS}
+  // Use case: for some types of streams, you'll need to provide "file"-related information manually.
+  // See the `form-data` README for more information about options: https://github.com/form-data/form-data
+  custom_file: {
+    value:  fs.createReadStream('/dev/urandom'),
+    options: {
+      filename: 'topsecret.jpg',
+      contentType: 'image/jpeg'
+    }
+  }
+};
+request.post({url:'http://service.com/upload', formData: formData}, function optionalCallback(err, httpResponse, body) {
+  if (err) {
+    return console.error('upload failed:', err);
+  }
+  console.log('Upload successful!  Server responded with:', body);
+});
+```
+<!--
+
+For advanced cases, you can access the form-data object itself via `r.form()`. This can be modified until the request is fired on the next cycle of the event-loop. (Note that this calling `form()` will clear the currently set form data for that request.)
+
+```js
+// NOTE: Advanced use-case, for normal use see 'formData' usage above
+var r = request.post('http://service.com/upload', function optionalCallback(err, httpResponse, body) {...})
+var form = r.form();
+form.append('my_field', 'my_value');
+form.append('my_buffer', Buffer.from([1, 2, 3]));
+form.append('custom_file', fs.createReadStream(__dirname + '/unicycle.jpg'), {filename: 'unicycle.jpg'});
+```
+-->
+
+See the [form-data README](https://github.com/form-data/form-data) for more information & examples.

 ## Custom HTTP Headers
 
 HTTP Headers, such as `User-Agent`, can be set in the `options` object.
