USE XSDFORMS ON THEIR OWN, OR AS PART OF YOUR EXISTING FORMS

XSDForm has been created as an extremely flexible way to use web forms. It can be used
for standalone forms which deliver complete input. In standalone mode, XSDForm creates
an HTML form, inputs the XML data into HTML fields and posts the form to anywhere you
desire.

However, you may need more than the XML data such as state data, session data or
additional information that doesn't exist in the XSD. So XSDForm can also be used as part of
your existing form by producing a hidden HTML variable which contains the XML data. You
can use this HTML variable with your existing web form. This way, your web form and HTML
input elements stay as is and the input elements of XML data appears wherever you want
them.
