## What it is
angular-formly is an AngularJS (v1.x) module providing a directive and configuration service for rendering JavaScript/JSON-configured forms. It enables DRY, reusable, maintainable form definitions driven entirely by field configuration objects.

## Use cases
- generate forms from JSON field configs in AngularJS
- build reusable form templates for Angular 1.x apps
- reduce boilerplate in large AngularJS form-heavy applications
- dynamically render form fields at runtime
- centralize form validation and field configuration

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy AngularJS 1.x application with many forms
- you want JSON-driven, reusable form definitions in Angular 1.x

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new project with Angular 2+ (use ngx-formly instead)
- you need actively maintained software with recent releases
- you use React, Vue, or other non-AngularJS frameworks

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: form-handling, ui-components, templating
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: browser
- tags: angularjs, forms, -configured-forms, directive, legacy, nodejs
