If you need a survey library with custom question types, here are the best options to look at:
Strong open-source choices
-
SurveyJS
Very flexible and one of the best-known options for custom question types.- Supports custom question types and custom widgets
- Good for web apps
- Has a form/survey designer
- Works with React, Angular, Vue, and plain JS
-
LimeSurvey
Powerful survey platform with extensibility, though custom question types are more platform-oriented than library-oriented. -
Form.io
More of a forms platform, but very extensible and supports custom components. Useful if your “survey” is really a form workflow.
If you want a library, not a platform
- SurveyJS is usually the first recommendation for custom question types.
- If you want maximum control and don’t mind building more yourself, react-jsonschema-form or Formik-based custom forms can work, but they’re not survey-specific.
What to verify before choosing
- Can you define new question schemas/types?
- Can the renderer be customized?
- Do you need drag-and-drop survey building?
- Does it support your framework: React/Vue/Angular/plain JS?
- Do you need branching logic, validation, piped text, or calculations?
If you want, I can narrow this down based on:
- your frontend framework,
- whether you want open-source only, and
- whether you need a full survey builder or just the rendering library.
