Hey team, It may have been missed from the previous comments/spam. I am still very curious how the decision for this came about. https://matrix.to/#/!AGetWbsMpFPdSgUrbs:matrix.org/$bdM29LAE55ZkQa9Q_h31_MKLF_XS6zNqdC-mjbvSW9I?via=matrix.org&via=mozilla.org&via=igalia.com

I'm wondering if there's any discussion about adding Request.json static method similar to Response.json that was recently added?

Maybe something along the lines of

Request.json("https://example.org", body, { method: "POST" })

as alternative to

new Request("https://example.org", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json; charset=utf-8",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify(body),
})

It sets the right Content-Type header if not already provided, and stringifies the body if not already stringified.

How do we normally handle things like https://github.com/whatwg/fetch/issues/1772 and https://github.com/whatwg/console/issues/238? Do we just trust that the translation is good and link to it? (i.e., I assume that's what we did for the JP translations)

Maybe we should clarify the adding features faq entry to say somewhere that it's ok to write a spec proposal (and link somewhere for a template or further guidance) before getting implementer interest... c.f. https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/7794#issuecomment-2042617709 and https://x.com/LeaVerou/status/1832791622813127000
