[Exist-open] Modern Alternatives to XForms?

[Gary K. <ge...@ru...>]

In a separate thread I enquired about the current approaches to using XForms
with eXist. Finian gave me an extremely helpful response explaining how to
use Orbeon Forms community edition, which I'm seriously considering. He
ended his reply with:

 

"Having said all of that, if I were starting from scratch I would consider
the alternatives to XForms. Although I have found eXist/XForms very flexible
and easy to use, it seems to me to be something of an edge-case these days.
I'm sure people here would have ideas as to more modern technologies."

 

For me, that begs the question - what are some recommended modern
alternatives to XForms? A Google search returned less than helpful lists of
commercial solutions. What I'm looking for is open source solutions that are
relatively easy to integrate with eXist and produce UIs with as little
effort as possible.

 

Your suggestions would be appreciated!
