You can notice that some entities have the type of view other than the object. These View Objects are used to return more information to the user with multiple foreign key fields. They represent the same entity.

Example :

• Task
  This is the usual entity of task,contains few main fields.
  Which supports only POST/PUT/DELETE.
  Controller api/Task
• TaskView
  Contains the entity fields but also the related foreign key fields.
