Salesforce Certified Platform Developer II — Question 125

A developer is writing a Visualforce page to display a list of all of the checkbox fields found on a custom object.
What is the recommended mechanism the developer should use to accomplish this?

Answer options

• A. Schema Class
• B. Apex API
• C. Schema Builder
• D. Metadata API

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Schema Class allows developers to access metadata about objects, including field types, making it the best choice for retrieving checkbox fields. The Apex API is more focused on executing Apex code rather than retrieving schema information. Schema Builder provides a visual representation of the schema but isn't used for programmatically accessing field information. The Metadata API is primarily used for deploying and retrieving metadata rather than directly accessing field properties.
