+#### Model binding and validation
 
-#### JSON parsing and validation
+To bind a request body into a type, use model binding. We currently support binding of JSON, XML and standard form values (foo=bar&boo=baz).
+
+Note that you need to set the corresponding binding tag on all fields you want to bind. For example, when binding from JSON, set `json:"fieldname"`.
+
+When using the Bind-method, Gin tries to infer the binder depending on the Content-Type header. If you are sure what you are binding, you can use BindWith. 
+
+You can also specify that specific fields are required. If a field is decorated with `binding:"required"` and has a empty value when binding, the current request will fail with an error.
 
 ```go
+// Binding from JSON
 type LoginJSON struct {
 	User     string `json:"user" binding:"required"`
 	Password string `json:"password" binding:"required"`
 }
 
+// Binding from form values
+type LoginForm struct {
+    User     string `form:"user" binding:"required"`
+    Password string `form:"password" binding:"required"`   
+}
+
