Form endpoint
The server-side destination that receives and handles a web-form submission.
Also called: form endpoints
Definition
A form endpoint accepts submitted fields, validates the request, applies abuse and consent rules, stores or routes approved data, and returns a clear success or failure response. It may be an API route, server function, or managed form service.
Why it matters
A form is not operational merely because fields render; the destination, validation, notifications, failure handling, and record path must work together.
Common misunderstanding
A form endpoint is one kind of endpoint, but the word endpoint alone does not mean a form or even a public API.
