This plugin provides a direct bridge between a website and the Salesforce platform, designed for developers who need to integrate customer and business data. It handles the authentication and API communication, allowing custom code to interact with Salesforce records.

• Direct API Connection: Establishes a secure OAuth connection using a client key and secret from Salesforce, requiring SSL on the site.
• Programmatic Query Execution: Provides a PHP class (WP_Salesforce_Connection) with a query() method to run Salesforce SOQL queries directly from theme or plugin code, returning result arrays.
• Action Hook for Events: Includes a WordPress action (wp_salesforce_connection) that fires once the connection is established, allowing for custom callback functions.
• Session Management Guidance: Offers practical advice for caching query results using transients or the options table to maintain data access after a Salesforce session closes.
• Developer-Centric Workflow: Focuses on giving developers the low-level tools to build custom integrations, rather than providing pre-built UI forms or automated sync rules.
