I strongly recommend to automate form generation based on JSON schema what will enable zero coding for maintenance tasks like e.g. synchronization with model changes. As form code is the most important entry point for security flaws in web applications it is also the most expensive and it is not a good idea having to touch production code for every little backend change. This looks like PHP coding 15 years ago. Do no…

The latest JSON Schema draft introduces some nasty patches that fix the previous draft's limitation. It's even more confusing, it's not designed to generate form even if people have tried (some things can't easily map to form) and the latest spec said so.

Mate most websites are shoving MBs down your throat, I’ll gladly take 5kb zipped for a better developer experience.

If doing `obj.firstName = el.value` is too bad of an experience for you that you need to add 5kb to make it better you're going to get to that MBs pretty quickly.

agree. it all looks good on paper until the requirement and design changes, then you are in world of pain.

Application like configuration UI is probably fine, for example, system preference. It has sort of generic UX.
