## What it is
SurveyJS Survey Creator is an embeddable, drag-and-drop form builder UI component for React, Angular, Vue, and plain JavaScript that generates JSON form definitions. It is self-hosted: forms are stored and rendered with your own backend and the companion SurveyJS Form Library.

## Use cases
- embed a drag-and-drop form builder in my web app
- let end users build dynamic surveys without hard-coding forms
- generate JSON form schemas to store in my own database
- build multi-step form wizards and quizzes with conditional logic
- self-hosted form builder that works with any backend
- white-label survey builder for React, Angular, or Vue

## When to choose
- You need users (not just developers) to create and edit forms visually inside your application
- You want full data control with your own backend, database, and auth instead of a hosted form service
- You need framework support across React, Angular, Vue, and vanilla JS with JSON-driven forms

## When to avoid
- You just need a simple static contact form - a plain form library is lighter
- You want a fully hosted SaaS form service with zero backend work
- You require a permissive open-source license for the creator component - commercial licensing applies beyond the free Form Library
