What SurveyJS is

SurveyJS is a set of JavaScript components for creating surveys, quizzes, polls, and other web forms, then storing responses and presenting results. Its free, open-source Form Library renders JSON-based forms in React, Angular, Vue, and plain JavaScript applications. Forms can use more than 20 question types, conditional logic, validation, multiple languages, and right-to-left text. Survey Creator is a customizable drag-and-drop designer that generates JSON schemas. Dashboard displays results with charts, tables, word clouds, and aggregated statistics, while PDF Generator creates editable PDF forms and exports submissions. The libraries run in the customer’s application and can connect to any backend or database; SurveyJS says it does not access, process, or store survey data. React, Angular, and Vue have native support, while jQuery uses a wrapper over Vanilla JavaScript. The Form Library is free, but Survey Creator, Dashboard, and PDF Generator require commercial licenses for production use. Each developer working with commercial product APIs or implementing their integrations needs a commercial developer license.
