Documentation

Please see the official JSON Forms website, jsonforms.io, for documentation, examples and API references.

Getting started

1. Clone the seed app with git clone https://github.com/eclipsesource/jsonforms-react-seed.git
2. Install dependencies with npm ci (or npm install when using an older version)
3. Run the app with npm run start

For more info about the seed app, please see the corresponding README file of the seed repo. For a more detailed tutorial about the usage of JSON Forms, please see this tutorial.

Upgrading to JSON Forms 3.0 Alpha

With version 3.0 of JSON Forms we removed json-schema-ref-parser from the core package. This change only affects users of the React variant (Vue and Angular are not affected) and even for React only a few users will need to adjust their code. To avoid issues and for more information, please have a look at our migration guide.

Feedback, Help and Support

If you encounter any problems feel free to open an issue on the repo. For questions and discussions please use the JSON Forms board. You can also reach us via email. In addition, EclipseSource also offers professional support for JSON Forms.
