XForms is the future of online forms as envisioned by the W3C. Drawing on other W3C standards like
XML Schema,
XPath, and
XML Events, XForms tries to address some of the limitations with the current
HTML forms model. Other strengths that XForms brings to the table is the separation of data from presentation, strong data typing, the ability to submit
XML data to servers instead of name/value pairs, and a descriptive way to author forms so that they can be displayed by a wide variety of devices. XForms is a
W3C specification.
