YUI 2 to jQuery

В YUI 2 есть setForm() http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/connection/
var formObject = document.getElementById('aForm');
YAHOO.util.Connect.setForm(formObject);

какой есть ей аналог в jquery ?

 

jQuery.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: url,
data: YC.setForm('edit_form'),
success: function() {
jQuery("#edit_form_tpl:ui-dialog" ).dialog( "destroy" );
document.location = url;
}
});

 

jQuery.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: url,
data: jQuery('#edit_form').serialize(),
success: function() {
jQuery("#edit_form_tpl:ui-dialog" ).dialog( "destroy" );
document.location = url;
}
});
