Answers.Body: <p>Looking to the future of CiviCRM, you can create native forms in CiviCRM using <a href="https://civicrm.org/form-builder" rel="nofollow noreferrer">FormBuilder</a>. Currently this is a work in progress. It works for some simple use cases but has limitations - most importantly no ability to take payments yet. This is in active development so <a href="https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/3761" rel="nofollow noreferrer">keep an eye on it</a> (or you could help to <a href="https://civicrm.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&amp;id=132" rel="nofollow noreferrer">sponsor it</a> to speed up development).</p>

  <p>The first gives you complete control to create a form in JavaScript that can be hosted on your CiviCRM site or an external site. The second provides a framework to process the responses from external forms.</p>

Answers.Text: @PradeepNayak I don't think it is correct to say that 'Civi will be maintaining this plugin going forward'. As far as I'm aware CiviCRM core team *won't* be supporting it. Members of the community *may* support it but my understanding is this is a lot of work hence the future of this integration is uncertain.

  Looking to the future of CiviCRM, you can create native forms in CiviCRM using [FormBuilder](https://civicrm.org/form-builder). Currently this is a work in progress. It works for some simple use cases but has limitations - most importantly no ability to take payments yet. This is in active development so [keep an eye on it](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/3761) (or you could help to [sponsor it](https://civicrm.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=132) to speed up development).
  
  In the meantime there are some more technical options that are worth considering:
  
  * [Inlay extension](https://lab.civicrm.org/extensions/inlay)
  * [Form processor extension](https://lab.civicrm.org/extensions/form-processor)
  
  The first gives you complete control to create a form in JavaScript that can be hosted on your CiviCRM site or an external site. The second provides a framework to process the responses from external forms.

  If you are using Drupal CMS then you can use [Webform](https://www.drupal.org/project/webform) + [Webform CiviCRM](https://www.drupal.org/project/webform_civicrm) to build
  
  On Wordpress you can use [Caldera + Caldera CiviCRM](https://lab.civicrm.org/extensions/caldera-civicrm) plugin
