# Integration

## Introduction

Form Builder and Form Runner integrate with other systems through several means, summarized below.

## Plain URLs

See [URLs](/form-runner/link-embed/linking.md) for more details.

* Through URLs, you access Form Runner and Form Builder's pages.
* The URLs can be produced simply by using hyperlinks or redirects from other applications.

## Configurable persistence API

See [Persistence API](/form-runner/api/persistence.md) for more details.

* The API is based on REST (that is, through HTTP).
* It provides CRUD, search, and metadata operations.

See also [Accessing data captured by forms](/form-runner/architecture-and-integration/accessing-data.md)

## HTTP services

* The [HTTP Service Editor](/form-builder/advanced/services-and-actions/http-services.md) allows you to create and bind services from a form.
* With properties, you can tell Form Runner to load initial XML data.
* Configure processes to [submit data](/form-runner/advanced/buttons-and-processes/actions-form-runner.md#send).

## Embedding

Embedding allows you to integrate a form in another application's page.

See [Embedding](/form-runner/link-embed.md) for more details.

## User management

By integrating with a user management system, you make Orbeon Forms aware of users and roles which can be associated with permissions.

See [Access Control](/form-runner/access-control.md) for more details.

## XML representation of form data

See [Form Data Format](/form-runner/api/data-formats/form-data.md)
