[Exist-open] [exist-open] off-topic announcement: Fore replaces betterFORM

[Joern T. <joe...@gm...>]

Sorry for this slightly off-topic posting:

For those who have used betterFORM in eXist-db and those who have to edit
some structured XML please read on.

There's a new pre-release of Fore (1.0.0-2) available at
https://github.com/Jinntec/Fore/releases/tag/v1.0.0-2

We have successfully ported a complex betterFORM XForms page with about
1.500 lines of code (reduced to about 900 lines afterwards), using about 20
data instances and deeply nested repeats to Fore. Unfortunately betterFORM
is not compatible with latest eXist-db releases any more but Fore is here
as a replacement. It's now pure client-side and requires no  setup.

However we plan a fore-exist module to make it even easier to use it within
your eXist-db apps and and provide a generic server-side validation
facility.

If you like it, I would appreciate a github star.

If you find things not being covered I'm open for feature requests and
discussions.

Thanks for listening,

Joern
