      Why we use sObject in code instead of an object?

      Posted by Gourav on April 28, 2016 at 12:54 PM

      Why we use sObject in code instead of an object, i.e Account,Contact or any custom object? Can anybody explain something about it?

      Hi Gourav,

      sObject is a generic abstract type that corresponds to any persisted object type. The generic sObject can be cast into a specific sObject type and object can be of JSON object. While JSON parsing, after parsing I got object which is of JSON object type. I am referencing that JSON object with object.

      Thanks
