SurveyJS
Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
In order to save on development costs, instead of creating cloud resources, we can install the Azure Storage Emulator for development and testing. If you aren't using windows, Azurite is an open source Azure storage API compatible server, and it is recommended by Microsoft to use. Otherwise, after installing, Windows users can search in the start menu for "azure storage emulator" and press enter to start the emulator. This should open a cmd window that will indicate the emulator is running, and some helpful commands. The cmd window can be closed and the emulator will continue to run.
