Are you a developer who:

  • Is looking for form management software that will generate the JSON and APIs for you?
  • Is frustrated with the lack of flexibility from current form automation software and options that are out there with form builders?
  • Can’t afford getting locked into a tech stack if things change?
  • Needs a plug and play data management solution that works with any system?
  • Or just wants a solution that will offload all of the busy work that comes with custom forms so you can focus on the core requirements of your app?

Then You Need To Know About This.

Maybe you’ve looked into form management software because you know how time-consuming and complex forms can get, but you always seem to run into roadblocks.

For example…

What if you need to define complex logic and workflows such as conditional field visibility, field calculations, and dynamic form branching in your web forms—BUT you need them in JSON so you can leverage its portability and flexibility?

You’re probably looking at doing it by hand, but if your application is form-heavy, it’s tens or even hundreds of hours to get it all done.

Or what if you need to extend its capabilities, implement a lot of custom CSS, integrate your existing auth provider, require revision control or offline mode, configure team-based user access, or handle PDFs?

Then there’s the data—something that gets ignored with most form management software.

Form submissions need to be validated, stored, and integrated with backend services or APIs to process submissions.

Sometimes on-premise, in the cloud, or in legacy systems, or all three.

ALSO, what if a form needs to change and it’s deployed in multiple places? Every change request will come to YOU and you’ll have to spend hours to hunt down each location and make the changes.

On top of that, you might need to keep everything in house, in your environment, which rules out leveraging external 3rd-party tools.

When you start looking at the potential requirements, building forms and managing the data is its own development project all by itself that requires extra hours to build and maintain, EVEN with most form management software options, because they’re only half the solution:

But there’s a better way.

The Best Form Management Software That’s The Complete Solution: Form.io

Form.io is a form management, data management, and rendering platform that lets you, or anyone, do all the complex form building, AND their APIs, in a drag and drop interface, that will output the JSON schema for you.

That means, as a developer, you don’t have to be the one who’s actually building the forms, the JSON, or APIs. They’re generated automatically—you can just grab them.

Then, with Form.io’s Open Source Renderers (React, Angular, Vue, and more), you can dynamically render your forms AND automatically hook that form into the REST API that’s generated from the same JSON schema—with a single line of code that you can just copy and paste into your app.

If the form needs to change, you or anyone can edit the form in the drag and drop interface and the form will update automatically, in real time, and reflect the changes everywhere its deployed.

That’s especially useful when you’re performing rapid prototyping or implementing user feedback and you need to iterate with speed.

And when all the data is flowing through Form.io, you get a single source of truth that updates in real time that you can run reports on so you’re never in the dark.

Form.io is the complete form management software platform:

How It Works

The Form.io platform provides a visual form builder that lets you drag and drop form elements, set their rules, and automatically generates the corresponding JSON schema for you.

Already have a schema written? Just import it.

Once you have the schema, Form.io generates the HTML, CSS, and Javascript that will get rendered in the browser.

Wnat to modify the form with on-page CSS? No problem. You can even inject custom logic with our API.

The platform also lets you manage multiple projects, multiple users with permissions, and even lets you white-label these things for your clients.

Form.io is everything you need in form management software:

  • Customize form behavior with conditional logic, validation, and formatting.
  • Customize form appearance with custom themes, styles, and layouts for forms.
  • Integrate forms with databases, CRMs, and marketing automation platforms, on premise, in the cloud, and with legacy systems.

You Could Cut Your Development Time In Half

  • Build forms, their schemas, and their APIs with drag and drop form management software, or have someone else do it for you.
  • Eliminate the headaches that come with making changes to live forms. Make the change in one place and every place it’s deployed is updated automatically without clobbering the historical data.
  • Resurect your legacy systems from the dead that don’t integrate with much of anything, but will with Form.io.
  • Auto-comply with the strictness security and compliance requirements instead of having to hunt them down and do it by hand.
  • Build the most complex and even inane field types (because why not). Would you like a table that’s fillable that inputs to a form? We got you.
