Hello APISIX Community and Mentors, My name is Kumar Vanshaj (GitHub: vanshaj2023 <https://github.com/vanshaj2023>), and I am a 3rd-year CSE student at IIIT Bhubaneswar. I am very interested in participating in GSoC this year and would love to work on the "JSON Schema to Form UI for APISIX Dashboard" project.
I have already been active in the community and recently had 2 PRs merged into the Apache APISIX repository. I really enjoy working with the project and am eager to take on a larger architectural challenge with this dashboard feature. Based on the project deliverables, my technical background aligns perfectly. I have extensive experience building dynamic, responsive UIs using React.js, Next.js, and TypeScript. During my recent full-stack freelance and internship roles, I successfully designed and delivered highly reusable UI component architectures (achieving 90%+ code reuse) and handled complex state management. I am highly confident in my ability to build a robust SchemaForm that handles complex patterns like oneOf/dependencies and sets up a strict AJV validation pipeline. I have already set up the APISIX Dashboard locally and have started exploring the front-end codebase. I have a few initial questions for the mentors: 1. Are there specific APISIX plugins you recommend I look at first that feature the most complex JSON schemas? 2. Is there an existing form-rendering library the project prefers to base this on, or is the strict goal to build this entirely from scratch utilizing the existing UI components? Since the GSoC application period is currently open, I am already working on my proposal draft. I plan to share a link to my proposal here in the next few days to get your early feedback. Thank you for your time, guidance Best regards, Kumar Vanshaj GitHub <https://github.com/vanshaj2023> LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/in/kumar-vanshaj-435450293/>
