Migrate existing forms from Third Party form platform to AEM forms.

I've a number of forms in a third party form platform, which I would like to migrate to AEM Forms. I can get the JSON structure of the form from the third party service.
How can I programmatically create forms in AEM form based on this JSON?

    @jezwn If you've created a JSON according to the following specification, please note that we haven't exposed a public API to create an adaptive form inside AEM using this JSON. We can collaborate to develop this API based on your requirements. Could you please open a GitHub issue for this? We can then work together to develop an API that meets your use case.

      Thanks @rishim22446870
       What I've done so far is converted the form data exposed by the third party in JSON format, to JSON schema, which I then uploaded to AEM DAM and created an Adaptive Form based on that. Noting that all this activity was done manual from converting the JSON to JSON schema, uploading to DAM and creating a form.
      I'm yet to check on creating an Adaptive Form based on JSON schema programmatically. Is that possible? I think you addressed this in your previous response.
      How I was envisioning this was,
      - Create the JSON schema from form JSON programmatically
      - Upload the schema to DAM using AEM APIs
      - Create the adaptive form programmatically using the JSON schema as form model

      Is the above feasible?

      I believe I could create the form nodes programmatically with Java as a second option. Is that advisable?
      Additionally I would like to explore alternate options for this migration. How can I effectively migrate forms from a third party service to AEM Forms? What does Adobe offers for that? 
      Also, when it comes to logic sections for form fields being migrated from third party to AEM Forms, how do we effectively handle that? 

      I would like to get your thoughts on these.
      Thank you!

        And one thing I'm not clear from the documentation of JSON schema is the handling of radio buttons and dropdown lists. The below schema creates a dropdown list instead of radio button. Any thoughts on what am I missing here?

         

         

        "purpose_of_current_charitable_funding_request": { "type": "string", "title": "Sample Title:", "description": "", "fieldType": "radio-group", "enum": [ "New Project", "Existing Project" ], "enumNames": [ "New Project", "Existing Project" ], "label": { "value": "Sample Value:" } }

         


        How did you render this JSON? Could you share the UI layer that took this JSON as input?
