The Alpaca project team is pleased to announce the release of Alpaca 1.1.2.

What is Alpaca?

Alpaca is a JavaScript plugin that makes it easy to render web forms using JSON schema. It consists of a core engine and a control library to let you change form layouts, plug in validation logic and adjust form presentation with simple changes to JSON.

Alpaca is the web forms engine for Cloud CMS. It can be used within your own standalone projects. It is free to use without restriction within both non-commercial and commerical applications.
