Ninja Forms is built on the same action and filter hook system as WordPress core, giving developers a documented way to customize behavior without modifying plugin files.
A template system also lets developers override field and form markup from within a theme.
- PHP action and filter hooks for customizing validation, processing, and output
- Template overrides for field and form markup from a theme
- REST API endpoints for reading form and submission data programmatically
- Developer documentation covering hooks, templates, and add-on creation
