+### Example: Setting values
+In some cases, you may require setting a value on a form element during its construction. This includes:
+1. Populating the field with values previously set by the user
+2. Default values
+
+To support this, form elements allow setting a `value` property. These values can be obtained in a form by calling the
+`getValues()` method on the `Form.php` class. This method returns an associative array with the field names as keys and their respective values.
+This means that when serialized to JSON, it will be rendered as a JSON object (see example below).
+
+```php
+use MyParcelCom\JsonSchema\FormBuilder\Form\Text;
+use MyParcelCom\JsonSchema\FormBuilder\Form\Checkbox;
+use MyParcelCom\JsonSchema\FormBuilder\Form\Select;
+use MyParcelCom\JsonSchema\FormBuilder\Form\Option;
