I have the same situation right now. I am making a request to a remote system and if it fails, I log the entire HTTPoison response, which might contain login credentials. Currently:

```elixir
Body:
{:form, [{"email", "user@example.com"}, {"password", "secret1234"}]}

```

But maybe in the future, if the remote API accepts a JSON body, the body will be a JSON string. So something more general would be useful. A quick search on hex.pm didn’t yield any results.
