# apex:remoteObjectModel

Defines an sObject and its fields to make accessible using Visualforce Remote Objects. This definition can include a shorthand name for the object, which you can use in JavaScript instead of the full API name. This is especially useful if your organization has a namespace, and makes your code more maintainable.
