An extension for TYPO3 CMS that provides form rendering with Handlebars,
based on the [EXT:handlebars](https://extensions.typo3.org/extension/handlebars) extension. It is designed to provide rendering
options for all default form elements shipped by EXT:form, while rendering for
custom form elements can be easily configured using dedicated interface implementations.
