<p>This plugin enhances Gravity Forms by providing the ability to export individual form entries as a <code>.json</code> file directly from the entries list. It allows you to define a custom JSON structure using a template editor within each form’s settings, where you can insert Gravity Forms merge tags and even utilize conditional logic shortcodes. A live preview feature helps you validate your JSON template before export.</p>

<h4>JSON Content Importer PRO</h4>

<p>PRO features:<br />
* application building by creating a searchform and connect it to a JSON-API in the background: pass GET-Variables to use a dynamic JSON-Feed-URL (“talk to API / webservice”)<br />
* much better and more flexible templateengine: twig<br />
* create and use Custom Post Types<br />
* store Templates independent of pages<br />
* more Shortcode-Parameters<br />
* executing Shortcodes inside a template<br />
* more features…</p>
