From: Christopher OliverYes. I think so.
JXForms supports the latest W3C XForms syntax (although not every construct). JXForms doesn't use XMLFormTransformer. Instead it provides its own generator (JXFormsGenerator) and transformer (JXFormsTransformer). It uses the same Form object and validation framework as XMLForm. However, it does not provide any actions.
Chris, can we deprecate the XMLFormTransformer in favour of the
JXFormsTransformer?
Does it provide any features that JXFormsTransformerThe XMLFormTransformer doesn't. But XMLForm does provide an action framework that JXForms does not. JXForms is intended to be used with Flowscript. In addition, Ivelin added some features to the xmlform.org version of XMLForm that JXForms doesn't have. If anyone wants these features it should be easy enough to add to JXForms, though.
does not support?
JXForms is not backward compatible with XMLForm. But neither is Ivelin's latest version of XMLForm. Still, I don't know what the reaction of users would be.If the answer on the first question is yes, should we release it at all? What would this mean for our users?
With regard to a "release", the main thing missing from both XMLForm and JXForms, in my opinion, is documentation.
