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.

Adds a JSON Feed to your WordPress site by adding <code>/feed/json</code> to any URL.
The JSON Feed format is a pragmatic syndication format, like RSS and Atom, but with one big difference: it’s JSON instead of XML. Learn more at <a href="http://jsonfeed.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">jsonfeed.org</a>.
