Entities
The editor supports two types of entities:
- Standalone: exist on their own and are usually represented by a table (when dealing with relational databases)
- Dependant: only exist as part of a Standalone entity and are represented as either a JSON object or array (based on the cardinality)
Entities are composed of fields, each field has a type and might have type specific validations. The field validations will be used when managing the data or when using certain extensions.
