Introduction

This is one of a series of API Guides, which aim to help you understand how to use the Joomla APIs through providing detailed explanations and sample code which you can easily install and run.

The Joomla Form class and API enables you to easily develop HTML forms and handle the user's input.

This page describes how you interact in general with the Joomla Form class and provides the code of a simple component which you can install to demonstrate use of this API.

Joomla itself also has a specific way of designing form functionality, and this page includes tutorial material to help you understand and develop your component to align with these principles.
