# Integration

## Introduction

Form Builder and Form Runner integrate with other systems through the a number of means, summarized below.

## Plain URLs

See [URLs](https://doc.orbeon.com/~/revisions/-LF_uc1WMpa4Sd-n5tDb/form-runner/linking-and-embedding/linking) 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](https://doc.orbeon.com/~/revisions/-LF_uc1WMpa4Sd-n5tDb/form-runner/apis/persistence-api) for more details.

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

## HTTP services

* The [HTTP Service Editor](https://doc.orbeon.com/~/revisions/-LF_uc1WMpa4Sd-n5tDb/form-builder/advanced/services-and-actions/http-services) 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](https://doc.orbeon.com/~/revisions/-LF_uc1WMpa4Sd-n5tDb/advanced/buttons-and-processes/form-runner-actions#send).

## Embedding

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

See [Embedding](https://doc.orbeon.com/~/revisions/-LF_uc1WMpa4Sd-n5tDb/form-runner/linking-and-embedding) 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](https://doc.orbeon.com/~/revisions/-LF_uc1WMpa4Sd-n5tDb/form-runner/access-control-and-permissions) for more details.

## XML representation of form data

See [Form Data Format](https://doc.orbeon.com/~/revisions/-LF_uc1WMpa4Sd-n5tDb/form-runner/apis/data-formats/form-data)
