Form.io not only serves as a Form platform for your Serverless applications but can also serve as a complete REST API platform as well. This is because everything that happens within Form.io, does so through the use of a robust REST API call within the form platform.

The following documentation outlines a complete walkthrough of using the Form.io API platform for validating a form.

To use Form.io first we have to create an account next create a project, setup it, and create a form.

How to use the Form.io API to validate a form.

  1. We have to login

To validate a form there is 3 sections that interest us:
