Take input from html field and store it in JSON object (lots of input fields)

I am looking for a way to take input from an HTML form and store it into a JSON object for use with AJAX. I can't use the normal $('#id').val();, because, as you can see below, there are a lot of fields. Here is some sample code

Javascript/jQuery:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('.add-to-cart').click(function() {
        var id = $(this).attr('id');
        //var qty = $(this).attr('qty'); <- need the quantity from the field 
        console.log(id);
        //console.log(qty);
        $.ajax({
            url: 'addproduct',
            type: 'POST',
            datazType: 'JSON',
            data: {
                "id": id
                //"qty": qty
            },
            success: function(addedproduct) {
                console.log(addedproduct.name);
                $('#cart').append('<li>'+ addedproduct.name +'</li>');
            },
            error: function() {
                console.log('failed to add product');
            }
        })
    });
});

HTML:

<p class="name">{{$product->name}}</p>
<input type="number" id="qty" class="qty" name="qty">
<button type="submit" id="{{$product->id}}" class="add-to-cart">Add to cart</button>

Help me please, or at least guide me in the right direction, this HAS to happen using AJAX.

jQuery's selialize method is what you are looking for. It serializes the values of inputs in a form.
