How would you design a tool to specify deeply nested forms, basically a complex decision tree, eg for medical diagnosis or complex tax stuff etc, where future form elements can dependent on a previously specified one, but statically ie chosen from few option not generated via a function so that all options and branches are known without executing code. The form specification should just be declarative, data. What data structure would you use to represent that form (I think it would basically be a DAG)? What language would you write it in? How would you generate a graphical representation (eg converting to .dot)? How would you generate a fillable form from it?
Thank you. Turns out I have seen that before. I played with Graphviz for a couple of months. It was fun but ultimately fruitless for my needs at the time. Thank you for reminding me.
I don’t have the vision of how that would apply to this project. Perhaps to visualize the current workflow, but it feels like it would be easier to do it by hand unless it’s constantly changing.
Yeah I had a similar feel.
