Laminas Forms

When to use

• The user wants to hydrate a form from an entity and bind validated data back onto the object.
• The user needs to build a laminas-form with elements, or compose reusable fieldsets, to render and capture user input.
• The user wants to validate and filter submitted request data against rules before using it, using an input filter.

When NOT to use

• Do not reach for the full Form object when a JSON API only needs to validate a payload; a standalone input filter is lighter and sufficient.
• Do not use this skill for Symfony Form, Laravel form requests, or client-side-only form markup; the Form/Fieldset/InputFilter API is Laminas specific.
