Supported data vendors
Out-of-the-box, the Advanced Views Framework (AVF) supports over 130 field types from 5 different data vendors.
Note: Use the latest version of third-party plugins to avoid unexpected behaviour.
What does out-of-the-box support mean?
Out-of-the-box support in the Advanced Views Framework (AVF) means that it will automatically generate default markup for supported fields. During rendering, it will also automatically read data from the database, convert it to the correct format, and pass it to the template.
Advanced Views Framework doesn't put any limitations on the vendors listed below. You can pass any data, including data obtained from any API, to the template using the Custom Data feature.

3. Advanced Custom Fields plugin
Advanced Views Framework supports all meta fields created by the Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) plugin.
Note: Some ACF field types aren't meta and only UI. For instance the "Message" field type doesn't have any value and the Advanced Views Framework therefore doesn't support it.
3.1) Supported fields types (36)
Besides the built-in ACF field types, we also support some extra field types, added by the plugins. You can find the whole list of the support fields types below. If the field type comes from an ACF addon, then it'll be marked in brackets.
Basic group
Text
Textarea
Range
Email
Url
Password
Content group
Choice group
Button Group
Relational group
Advanced Group
OpenStreetMap (from the ACF OpenStreetMap Field plugin)

Repeater* Nested repeaters (repeater in repeater) are supported without limitations.
Group* Nested groups (group in group) are supported without limitations.
Flexible Content* Complex fields inside flexible layouts (like repeater or group) are supported without limitations.
Clone* Known limitations: clones with the active "prefixed names" option aren't supported.
Tab The field has no value, so it is not present in the markup. It is useful only if you use Gutenberg blocks and want this field to be included in the created block.
*Supported in the Advanced Views Framework: Pro Edition only.
3.2) Supported field sources
The Advanced Views Framework supports all ACF fields sources. Changing View shortcode arguments, you can load fields from posts, option pages, user profiles, terms, comments and menus.
4. Meta Box plugin
The Advanced Views Framework supports all meta fields created by the Meta Box plugin excluding the 3 following:
Fieldset Text
Text List
Key value
Note: Some Meta Box field types aren't meta and only UI. For instance the "Tab" field type doesn't have any value and Advanced Views therefore doesn't support it.

Meta Box doesn't have the repeater field type, but has the repeatable setting that can be enabled on any field. Advanced Views Framework supports the repeatable feature in the Pro version.
Tip: Using the Group field type with the repeatable setting you can have the same experience as using the ACF Repeater field.
5. Pods plugin
The Advanced Views Framework supports all meta fields created by the Pods plugin.
Note: Some Pods field types aren't meta and only UI. For instance the "Layout Heading" field type doesn't have any value and Advanced Views therefore doesn't support it.
