About Integration Object Structure

Integration objects are metadata structures that represent hierarchical objects using components and fields. For example, the Contact integration object might have the following components—Personal Address, Account, and Opportunity. The following image shows an example of the Contact integration object, and the integration object instance containing the data for Contact as follows:

   Contact_Personal Address: 1000 Industrial Way  
       PersonalAddressState: CA
       PersonalAddressZip: 94063
