Best Practice for displaying form data on frontend?

Hi GravityForms,

I'm really sorry if I'm missing documentation or another thread that says this, but I've looked quite a bit.

I've seen some threads asking how to query form entries and display them on the frontend, though a lot of them are quite old. I know I can create posts from form entries, but in my current application, that seems like overkill.

Is there an "official" or at least "unofficial but recommended" means of querying these entries and displaying them?

I've seen a few ways to do it with internal GForms functions and the wpdb class, but I'd love an official "this is what we recommend you do" answer to guide my development.

I love the plugin and recommend it just about every chance I can. Thanks.

We are in the process of creating a "Front-End Entries Display" add-on (not officially named yet). However, there is an undocumented function that is the best way to return the leads for a form. It will return an array of entries. That function is: GFFormsModel::get_leads()

You can get more details in the code in forms_model.php circa line 2749.
