# Getting Started with Form.io

Welcome to **Form.io!**

**Form.io** is a combined form and data management platform that creates sophisticated forms, exposes them through automatically generated APIs, and routes submission data to the systems that need it. It allows application developers to rapidly create forms using a flexible palette of drag-and-drop components. Alongside this form, Form.io generates the API necessary to collect and handle the data collected by the form.
