I'm totally new to Salesforce, and was asked to provide a json result set with all objects, their associated fields (standard and custom), as well as all field attributes (name, id, type, etc.).
My interface for interacting with Salesforce is their small php example (Rest API): http://developer.force.com/cookbook/recipe/interact-with-the-forcecom-rest-api-from-php
I have found Apex (inside salesforce), and this looks like it might get me what I need. But, I do not know the Apex language.
Can anyone please point me in the correct direction? I found this post: How get all objects and their fields as Json
... but I'm lost. Do I run that from inside Apex?
Here is the kind of result set I am after:
{"animals":["bear", "cat", "dog"]}....
... but with all field attributes.
