+Target groups and main principles
+=================================
+
+As :ref:`we saw in the introduction<what-does-it-do>`, the ``form`` extension is a
+framework where editors, integrators, and developers can
+create and manage forms with different interfaces and functionality.
+
+The most important part of EXT:form is the backend ``form editor``. Different types of users
+can use  the ``form editor`` for different things. Integrators can manage HTML
+class attributes, developers can create
+complex ``form definitions`` and editors can edit properties.
+
+The form extension tries to find a compromise between these things. The
+``form editor`` is mainly designed for editors, so simple, easy-to-edit properties are
+displayed. However, the ``form editor`` can be easily extended by YAML configuration.
+
+And should this is not enough for your specific project, you can
+integrate your own JavaScript code using the JavaScript API.
+
+You can create and define forms globally in the :guilabel:`Web->Forms` module or you can load forms
+from inside extensions, for example, the ``Mail form`` content element.
+
+Some parts of a form can be overridden in the form plugin. This means you can
+reuse the same form on different pages with a different configuration.
+
+The information in this chapter will show you that there are many ways to
+customize the form framework, depending on your use case. Be creative and share
+your solution with the TYPO3 community!
+
+This chapter describes the basics of the form framework. Check
+out the reference and the examples to get a deeper understanding of
+the framework.
