* For `form` and the non-RFC6570 query string styles `spaceDelimited`, `pipeDelimited`, and `deepObject`, see [Appendix C](#appendix-c-using-rfc6570-based-serialization) for more information on constructing query strings from multiple parameters, and [Appendix D](#appendix-d-serializing-headers-and-cookies) for warnings regarding `form` and cookie parameters.
