If you set the dot option true, the return value is structured based on the dot notation.
Imagine receiving the following data:
const data = new FormData()
data.append('obj.key1', 'value1')
data.append('obj.key2', 'value2')
You can get the structured value by setting the dot option true:
import { Context } from 'hono'
declare const c: Context
// ---cut---
const body = await c.req.parseBody({ dot: true })
// body is `{ obj: { key1: 'value1', key2: 'value2' } }`
