APISIX plugins ship JSON Schema definitions for their configuration. If APISIX Dashboard can render plugin configuration forms directly from JSON Schema, developer experience improves significantly and reduces manual UI maintenance.

        <p>Goals (Deliverables)<br/>
        Must-have:</p>
        <ul>
        	<li>A reusable <tt>SchemaForm</tt> (or equivalent) that renders basic types: string/number/integer/boolean/object/array.</li>
        	<li><tt>enum</tt> support (Select/Radio etc), defaults, required fields, basic constraints (min/max, pattern, etc) where
        feasible.</li>
        	<li>Support at least the key complex patterns used by APISIX plugin schemas:
        	<ul>
        		<li><tt>oneOf</tt> (select one option and render corresponding fields)</li>
        		<li><tt>dependencies</tt> / conditional fields</li>
        		<li>(Stretch) <tt>anyOf</tt> if present in target schemas</li>
        	</ul>
        	</li>
        	<li>Validation pipeline: validate form values against schema (AJV) and show errors in UI consistently.</li>
        	<li>Documentation + developer guide: how to add/extend schema-to-widget mapping.</li>
        	<li>Tests (unit + minimal integration) to prevent regressions for schema parsing and conditional rendering.</li>
        </ul>

        to Apache Fineract</b></h3>
        
        <p>When the project removed self-service APIs in 2025, it did so understanding that we would need an outside component to
        make that connection as part of an overall solution. </p>
        
        <p>This project is to create - as a Proof of Concept (POC) - a new dedicated Self-Service API component or service that integration
        with Fineract backend.  It will need to expose APIs to consumer facing applications for typical activities like viewing account
        balances, transaction initiation, loan application, etc.  </p>
        
        <p>The idea is for GSOC candidates to propose a design and build the POC. </p>
        
        <p>Minimal criteria include testing, authentication methodology, documentation.  </p>
        
        <p>Not included in this GSOC would be the end consumer APP, although that may be undertaken by another project and coordination
        would be needed. </p>
