## What it is
A JavaScript library that generates HTML forms from JSON Schema definitions, supporting JSON Schema v3 and v4 with integrations for popular CSS frameworks. This original repository is deprecated and unmaintained; development continues at -editor/-editor.

## Use cases
- generate html forms from  schema
- build a settings editor driven by a schema
- let users edit  config files in the browser
- create schema-validated form inputs without writing markup
- integrate  editing into a web app with bootstrap styling

## When to choose
- you need schema-driven form generation in the browser with no dependencies
- you're on a legacy stack already using this library and JSON Schema v3/v4

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - use the maintained fork -editor/-editor instead
- you need JSON Schema draft 6+ support or bug fixes
- you need server-side rendering or a framework-native form solution

- maturity: abandoned
- function: editor, form-handling, ui-components
