Abstract: Computer systems, methods, and devices for structured dynamic electronic forms are provided. The system includes a user device comprising a client form management application and a server comprising a server form management application. The client form management application generates and sends a request for a dynamic electronic form to the server. The server form management application stores the dynamic electronic form comprising separately stored form template data and form data; and merges and sends the form template data and the form data to the user device for rendering. The client form management application sends a request for a form filler package (“FFP”) comprising rules for filling out and rendering the dynamic electronic form. The server form management application sends the FFP to the user device and the client form management application renders the dynamic electronic form using the merged form template data and form data and the FFP.

Abstract: A method of updating a declarative description of a form in which the declarative description includes a hierarchy of declarations of form elements. The form is displayed by rendering each of the form elements based on the declarative description. The position of each rendered form element relative to the other rendered form elements is based on the position of the declaration of that form element in the hierarchy. An indication of a further element to add to the form and a location where that element is to be inserted into the form are received. The form is updated by inserting a declaration of the further element into the description at a position in the hierarchy determined based on the position, and the updated form displayed.
