Roadmap & Milestones

The project roadmap can be found in ROADMAP.md.

Issues are sorted in one the following milestones that indicate when their implementation is planned. Independently of the assigned milestone, contributions are always accepted and appreciated.

• A milestone for the next minor version. Issues planned to be implemented for the next release.
• A milestone for the next major version. Issues planned to be implemented for the next major release.
• A .x milestone. Issues which are concrete candidates for one of the next versions.
• next: Issues which we would like to tackle soonish in one of the upcoming versions. However, they are not yet planned for a specific version.
• Backlog: Issues which are interesting in some form but we don't plan to do ourselves in the foreseeable future. Still these might become part of JSON Forms via a community contribution or by prioritization of a paying customer.

Developers Documentation

First time setup

• Install node.js (only Node v24+ < 25 is currently supported)
• Install pnpm: https://pnpm.io/installation (use pnpm 10.33.0+) or use corepack to enable the recommended version
• Clone this repository
• Install dependencies: pnpm i --frozen-lockfile

VS Code dev container

As an alternative to the first time setup, you can use the provided VS Code dev container configured in devcontainer.json.

• Execute command: Remote Containers: Reopen in container
• Wait until the container is built and loaded
• First time setup and an initial build of all packages has been executed in the container

Note: If you have installed dependencies before opening the remote container, its initialization might fail. In this case, you can try to clean the repository with git clean -dfx. Beware that this removes all untracked files!
