## What it is
A JavaScript library that takes a JSON Schema and generates an HTML form for editing JSON data, supporting JSON Schema versions 3 and 4. It integrates with popular CSS frameworks like Bootstrap, Spectre, and Tailwind and has no required dependencies.

## 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
- replace hand-coded forms with schema-based generation
- edit  documents with a gui

## When to choose
- you need forms generated automatically from existing JSON Schemas
- you want a dependency-free browser library for schema-driven editing
- you need integration with Bootstrap, Tailwind, or Spectre styling
- you're maintaining an existing project already built on -editor

## When to avoid
- you're starting a new project and want actively developed alternatives like Jedison
- you need server-side or non-browser JSON editing
- you require JSON Schema draft 6/7+ features beyond versions 3 and 4
- you need a full form framework with custom validation logic outside the schema
