Why is my FormData object empty?

When I run 

var data = new FormData();
data.append("somekey", "somevalue");
console.log("data = " + JSON.stringify(data)); // TEST

I get empty braces printed to the console. Why is this?

The FormData API doesn't include anything to expose the content of it back to the client.

It isn't empty. You just don't have a way to look at what is inside it.

The data you have appended will still appear when you send() it with XMLHttpRequest.
