Formbuilder is a lightweight JavaScript graphical interface that lets end users build their own webforms, similar to Wufoo or Google Forms but embeddable in your application. It handles only the client-side builder, outputting a structured JSON representation of the form; saving, server-side rendering, and response storage are left to the developer.

Use cases

• let users build custom webforms in my app
• embed a drag-and-drop form builder like Wufoo
• generate JSON form definitions from a visual editor
• add a lightweight Google Forms-style builder to my product
• create customizable survey forms client-side

When to choose

• you need an embeddable client-side form builder UI
• you want full control over server-side rendering and response storage
• you're on Rails and can pair it with formbuilder-rb

When to avoid

• you need a complete form solution with backend, rendering, and response storage out of the box
• you need a maintained project with active development
• you want a modern framework (React/Vue) component
