Model Service¶
ExpressionEngine has a complex set of data types, such as Channels, Members,
Templates, and Categories. These have properties and constraints, as well
as relationships and complex storage requirements. The model service helps
smooth out interacting with ExpressionEngine’s data types by providing an API
that mimics their natural language description as closely as is feasible. You do
not query for channel_data
joined on channel_titles
; instead, you simply
get a channel entry with its fields.
