Forms
=====

The Form API is an extensible and flexible framework to **build web forms**.

It includes the following features:

* Ready-to-use standard form elements
* Creation of **Multi-Step Forms**
* Server- and Client-Side **Validation**
* highly **flexible rendering** of form elements, based on Fluid or any custom renderer
* **Extensible** with new form elements
* robust, **object oriented API**
* Integration into **Neos Flow** and **Neos CMS**

Also, there are some useful `Related Packages <https://github.com/neos/form#related-packages>`_ that make use
of the extension points and provide useful additions.
For example there is the original `Form YAML Builder <https://packagist.org/packages/neos/form-yamlbuilder>`_ that is a
Flow based web application for graphically assembling and modifying forms:

Since version 5 there's also a `Neos Form Builder <https://packagist.org/packages/neos/form-builder>`_ that adds these
features and more to the Neos CMS Backend:
