Next Generation Forms with React Final Form
summary
Library claim: a tiny, framework-agnostic form engine (the core is 4.3K gzip engine) with small React bindings (3.1K react bindings) that actually ships. It uses a subscription-based observer pattern to limit re-renders, demonstrates field- and record-level validation, shows a working final-form-focus decorator that auto-focuses first error, and provides 34+ real examples. Live demos submit, validate, scroll and focus successfully, and the measurements and plugins are concrete reasons to pick it over heavier alternatives.
