<p>Gravity Forms is an excellent plugin for creating forms, but requires loading jQuery in the front-end for AJAX submissions to work. Obiously we would like to avoid a full reload on submission, but also not include JQuery in this day and age where vanilla JavaScript is so capable.</p>
<p>This plugin makes use of the built-in REST API in Gravity Forms, and uses that to submit the form and perform validation. File uploads and multi-page forms are supported.</p>
<p>By only using vanilla JavaScript, this plugin is 1.5kB (v1.1 minified and gzipped), compared to the 31kB of jQuery (3.6.1 minified and gzipped). A 95% reduction in size!</p>


Remove jQuery from Gravity Forms

Makes Gravity Forms submit forms using the built-in REST API and removes jQuery as a dependency.

<h3>WP REST API Authentication Methods in our plugin</h3>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://plugins.miniorange.com/wordpress-rest-api-jwt-authentication-method#step_a1" rel="nofollow ugc">JWT Authentication</a><br />
Provides an endpoint where you can pass the user credentials, and it will generate a JWT (JSON Web Token), which you can use to access the WordPress REST APIs accordingly.<br />
Additionally, to maintain a seamless user experience without frequent logins needed due to token expiry, you can use our <em>Refresh and Revoke token</em> mechanisms feature.<br />
When the access token expires, instead of forcing the user to log in again, the client can request a new access token using a valid refresh token.</li>
<li><a href="https://plugins.miniorange.com/rest-api-key-authentication-method#step_a" rel="nofollow ugc">API Key Authentication</a></li>
<li><a href="https://plugins.miniorange.com/wordpress-rest-api-basic-authentication-method" rel="nofollow ugc">Basic Authentication</a>:<br />
        – 1. <strong>Username: Password</strong><br />
        – 2. <strong>Client-ID: Client-Secret</strong></li>
<li><a href="https://plugins.miniorange.com/wordpress-rest-api-oauth-2-0-authentication-method#step_a" rel="nofollow ugc">OAuth 2.0 Authentication</a><br />
        – 1. <strong>Password Grant</strong><br />
            – 2. <strong>Client Credentials Grant</strong></li>
<li><a href="https://plugins.miniorange.com/wordpress-rest-api-authentication-using-third-party-provider#step_a" rel="nofollow ugc">Third Party Provider Authentication</a></li>

</ul>
<p>You can also disable the WP REST APIs with our plugin such that no one can make API calls to your WordPress REST API endpoints.Our plugin also provides <strong>Refresh and Revoke Token</strong> that can be used to improve the API security.</p>
<h3>Benefits of Refresh Token</h3>
