Gravity Forms Data Is Object Oriented

Gravity Forms is a data capture WordPress plugin that acquires data from users via web forms.

The data captured by Gravity Forms is object-oriented…here’s what that means:

“An object-oriented database stores data as objects, similar to how certain programming languages manage data. Instead of tables with rows and columns like traditional databases, object databases use complex data structures to represent data.” – Mongo DB

In Gravity Forms, there are 7 types of data objects which is stored in the WordPress database:

1. Entry object: data captured resulting from a user form submission
2. Form object: data relating to a particular form
3. Field object: data relating to a specific field on a specific form
4. Notification object: data relating to a specific notification email for a specific form
5. Confirmation object: data relating to a specific confirmation for a specific form
6. Conditional logic object: data relating to specific conditional logic rules for a specific form
7. Button object: data relating to the submission button of a specific form

The 7 points above comprise ALL the data that sits within Gravity Forms.
