g_form - client side and can be called from ui policies and client scripts

glidesystem - server side and called primarily from business rules and other server side scripts

gliderecord - primarily called from server side scripts, although there is a slimmed down client side gliderecord api.

Hi Sathya Narayan,

g_form: can be used in client scripts.[GlideForm.js and g_form are only used on the client (for instance, the web browser)]

GlideRecord: GlideRecord is a special Java class (GlideRecord.java) that can be used in JavaScript exactly as if it was a native JavaScript class.

is used for database operations instead of writing SQL queries.
is an object that contains zero or more records from one table. Another way to say this is that a GlideRecord is an ordered list.

Glide System: The GlideSystem (referred to by the variable name 'gs' in Business Rules) provides a number of convenient methods to get information about the system, the current logged in user, etc. For example, the method addInfoMessage() permits communication with the user.

Mark Correct if it solved your issue or hit Like and Helpful if you find my response worthy.

Thanks & Regards,
