附录 B. 替代方案
Appendix B. Alternatives
🇬🇧 英文原文
There are numerous alternative ways for encoding form data that have been proposed or used in various contexts. For example:
- application/x-www-form-urlencoded: Simple name-value pairs, widely supported but limited to text
- JSON-based encoding: Modern and flexible but requires additional processing
- XML-based encoding: Structured but more verbose
- Direct binary protocols: Efficient but requires custom implementations
multipart/form-data was chosen as the standard for HTML forms because it:
- Supports binary file data efficiently
- Maintains compatibility with email systems
- Allows multiple files and mixed content types
- Has widespread implementation support

在各种上下文中已经提出或使用了许多编码表单数据的替代方法。例如:
- application/x-www-form-urlencoded: 简单的名称-值对,广泛支持但仅限于文本
- 基于 JSON 的编码: 现代且灵活,但需要额外处理
- 基于 XML 的编码: 结构化但更冗长
- 直接二进制协议: 高效但需要自定义实现
multipart/form-data 被选为 HTML 表单的标准,因为它:
- 有效支持二进制文件数据
- 保持与电子邮件系统的兼容性
- 允许多个文件和混合内容类型
- 具有广泛的实现支持
