Hi Baoyuan, Thank you for the detailed context! It's great to know that React Hook Form and Mantine/AntD are the current standards in the codebase that helps narrow down the evaluation criteria significantly.
I will proceed with the research phase immediately, focusing on: 1. Bundle size impact (keeping it lightweight). 2. Integration with React Hook Form (to avoid duplicate state management libs). 3. Adaptation strategies for APISIX's specific JSON Schema drafts. I will compile my findings and post a detailed comparison proposal directly on GitHub Issue #2986 within the next few days.
