# Yes/No answer
## Availability
\[SINCE Orbeon Forms 2016.1]
## What it does
The `fr:yesno-input` component displays a simple choice between "Yes" and "No". It stores a value of `true` when "Yes" is selected and `false` when "No" is selected.
This control is generally recommended over the [Checkbox Input Component](/form-runner/component/checkbox-input.md) for binary (or boolean) selection, because:
* A "Yes/No" choice is usually clearer to the user.
* The control can be marked as "Required", in which case he user has to make a selection to pass validation. With a single checkbox, it is easier to miss making a selection.
[\[SINCE Orbeon Forms 2023.1\]](/release-notes/orbeon-forms-2023.1.md)
A "Clear value" button is available in Form Builder to clear the value of the control without editing the source of the form definition or recreating the control.
## Basic usage
You use `fr:yesno-input` like a regular XForms controls. Example:
```xml
Are you a happy camper?
```
