<p>Native Custom Fields is a modern WordPress plugin for creating custom content types, meta fields, and options pages using WordPress’ own native component system.</p>

<p>Instead of shipping a proprietary UI framework or custom database structure, Native Custom Fields leverages WordPress core technologies such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>@wordpress/scripts</li>
<li>@wordpress/components</li>
<li>@wordpress/elements</li>
<li>@wordpress/icons</li>
<li>@wordpress/data</li>
</ul>
<p>This ensures a seamless, future-proof experience that evolves together with WordPress core.</p>
<h4>Why Native Custom Fields?</h4>
<p>Most custom field plugins introduce their own UI systems, internal data storage layers, or hidden configuration post types.</p>
<p>Native Custom Fields follows a different philosophy:</p>
<p>• Uses WordPress native UI components<br />
• Stores configuration in wp_options<br />
• Stores data in postmeta, termmeta, and usermeta<br />
• Does not create unnecessary database tables<br />
• Does not register hidden configuration post types<br />
• Follows WordPress coding standards</p>
<p>The result is a clean, lightweight, and maintainable solution.</p>
