XForms - A W3C standard

This topic describes the XForms W3C standard.

XForms is a set of recommendations for web forms specified by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Adherence to these specifications ensures multi-platform and multiple device support (including hand-held devices, mobile phones, and desktop computers) for such web forms. Web forms built using the W3C XForms recommendations are called XForms.

XForms differ from the traditional HTML forms as they differentiate and separate content from presentation. The separation of data, logic, and presentation simplifies the process of creating forms and also reduces the maintenance effort.
