Client–Server Architecture That Enables Secure Automation
Integrate with Any Backend or Data Workflow
SurveyJS integrates seamlessly with any backend technology stack. You can connect the Form Library to your own REST API, or any method your system supports for secure submission handling, and automate data transfer between your client-side forms and your storage layer.
You can find several backend integration examples in the documentation, including implementations for ASP.NET Core, Node.js, PHP, Python, WordPress, Node.js + PostgreSQL, and Node.js + MongoDB. These examples illustrate how to create automated data pipelines in which responses are validated, processed, and saved directly in your system — not on third-party servers.
Dynamic Form Generation with JSON Schemas
SurveyJS offers a In SurveyJS, every form is defined by a JSON schema that specifies its structure, questions, logic, and layout. With Survey Creator, these schemas can be built visually and stored in your database. When a user needs to fill out a form, the Form Library instantly renders it by parsing the JSON. You can also automate schema management through your backend. For example, schemas can be generated or modified programmatically based on user roles, workflow status, or external data, enabling forms to adapt automatically to different users or business processes.
Because a JSON schema is just structured data, it can be modified on the fly by any backend service. This JSON-driven approach treats forms as dynamic, version-controlled configuration objects. Once sent to the client, the Form Library renders a fully functional form that reflects your automated logic. This flexibility allows enterprises to implement advanced, data-driven form workflows while maintaining full control, security, and maintainability.
Build a Fully Customized Form Management Experience
Unlike SaaS tools that restrict interface and functionality, SurveyJS gives you full control over every aspect of your form management workflow. You can restyle the builder to match your application, configure or hide settings, localize the UI, and extend it with custom question types, validation rules, and actions.
Because SurveyJS is distributed as npm packages for React, Angular, Vue3, and vanilla JavaScript, you can integrate it directly into your existing codebase and automate form management using your own infrastructure. The result is a cohesive, secure, and scalable system that looks and feels native to your application.
Data Ownership and Compliance by Design
SurveyJS is a client-side form management software that never stores or transmits your data to external services. You maintain full ownership of form schemas and responses and ensure that sensitive information never leaves your secure environment.
You decide where your data is stored, how it’s encrypted, and who can access it. This allows you to meet internal security standards and comply with GDPR, HIPAA, and other data protection regulations. Compared to conventional SaaS form management systems, which store data on shared servers and limit your control, SurveyJS provides a transparent and auditable solution for organizations with strict compliance requirements.
Why Automate Form Management with SurveyJS
Automating form management across your organization eliminates repetitive work, minimizes errors, and enhances data protection. With SurveyJS, you can design, render, collect, analyze, and export forms entirely within your own environment. Its self-hosted architecture enables enterprises to manage every stage — from creation to analysis — while maintaining full control over data storage and access in compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, and internal security policies.
SurveyJS combines low-code flexibility, developer freedom, and complete data control into one unified form management system. It’s form management software built for enterprises that value integration, scalability, and sovereignty over their data.

It allows even non-technical users to create an unlimited number of surveys and forms—both digital and PDF—collect responses, and visualize them using interactive charts and tables.
Secure Data Collection
The Form Library component lets you render interactive, dynamic forms in the browser. It’s MIT-licensed, lightweight, and animated. It supports basic and advanced question types, conditional logic, and validation, so you can guide users and collect accurate data.
Drag-and-Drop Form Creation
The Survey Creator component is a drag-and-drop form builder that produces JSONs for Form Library. It includes a rich Toolbox, a Theme Editor for form styling, and lets you apply advanced logic and branching, default values, and calculations—all without writing code.
Real-Time Data Reporting
The Dashboard component lets you view and analyze survey results in real time. It reads your form setup and then shows the data in interactive charts and tables. It also includes a Table View component for displaying responses in a data grid with options for client- or server-side pagination and filtering.
Export Your Web Forms to PDF
PDF Generator lets you turn your web forms into editable PDF files. It uses the form’s JSON schema, generated in Survey Creator, to reproduce the form’s layout and content. It can also fill PDFs with the responses you’ve collected, so you can easily create pre-filled, printable versions of your forms.
SurveyJS Helps Enterprises Keep Sensitive Data Secure
Whether you are from the education or healthcare sector, human resources, or anything in between—collecting sensitive data can become a maintenance nightmare, since you, as a survey creator, must guarantee anonymity and privacy to respondents (very often—to thousands of them) in order to remain legally compliant and ensure honest answers.
So the software you use to create and host surveys needs to be more than just a third-party, black-box SaaS platform where you’re locked in to too many dependencies, and locked out of engagement, monitoring, and improvement of the actual service because of intellectual property laws.
Even when surveys are conducted anonymously and with informed consent, you are not off the hook.
Even if you store only aggregated data, small sample sizes could inadvertently identify an individual, leading to adverse consequences. Also, most countries have laws governing the storage and security of collected data (HIPAA, FERPA, GDPR), meaning that you are liable for any stored personal information in your custody—including its secure destruction at the end of the retention period, with proof.
The easiest way to ensure individual privacy and legal compliance is to self-host SurveyJS. You would run surveys and store responses completely within your own infrastructure, thus being in total control of data flow between server and client without any third-party involved.
Self-hosting a SurveyJS solution grants you true freedom, and makes long-term planning not only possible, but also viable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a license and a renewal?
What's the difference between a license and a renewal?
A developer license is a one-time purchase that gives you permission to integrate and use the SurveyJS components (Survey Creator, PDF Generator, and Dashboard libraries) in your application forever. Product maintenance (new features, enhancements, bug fixes) and access to our Help Desk are provided through a subscription.
Your first 12 months of subscription are included for free with the initial license purchase. This gives you permanent access to all versions released during that period, plus technical support for one year.
A renewal is simply an extension of that subscription for another 12–24 months. Renewals are available only if you already hold a license under the same pricing plan.
What are the usage limits in Survey Creator?
What are the usage limits in Survey Creator?
SurveyJS does not put limits on:
- Admins (people creating or editing forms in the no-code UI)
- Respondents (people filling out your forms)
- Number of forms you create
- Monthly form submissions
- File uploads
- Features you use
Everything is unlimited. All your forms and responses are stored securely in your own database, so SurveyJS never restricts your usage.
How does SurveyJS work with backend solutions and user management systems?
How does SurveyJS work with backend solutions and user management systems?
SurveyJS focuses only on the front end. We provide JavaScript UI libraries (for Angular, React, Vue3, and vanilla JS) that let you build form management platforms on the client. You can connect these libraries to any server or database you prefer to have full control over your backend, data storage, and user management.
SurveyJS itself does not store, access, or track any data. We do not offer backend solutions or data storage facilities. You'll need to build your own backend to handle data storage, processing, and user authentication. For example, if you want an approval workflow where one user creates a form and another reviews it before publishing, that logic needs to be implemented on your server.
We provide examples and documentation to help you integrate SurveyJS with your backend:
This way, you keep complete control over your data, backend logic, and user management, while using SurveyJS for the front-end UI.
How do I assign a license to a developer?
How do I assign a license to a developer?
As the license owner, you can assign up to all of your purchased license seats to developers on your team or to outsourced ones. This is optional, but we recommend it because assigned developers get direct access to the license key and our Help Desk. All licenses always remain visible in your account's License Manager.
To assign a license, in your account:
- Click the arrow icon (˅) on the left of the license package to expand the license management area.
- Click the plus (+) sign to add a new user.
- Enter the developer's email address and click Assign.
The developer will receive an email with instructions on how to access and set up the license key. If they don't already have a SurveyJS account, one will be created automatically, and they'll receive a link to set their password.
Assigned developers are given Developer status. This allows them to use the license and contact support, but they cannot view billing details, renew the maintenance subscription, or see other team members.
