Jahia embedded frameworks

October 8, 2024

Exposed frameworks

There are two different types of libraries (backend or UI) embedded and exposed by Jahia:

  • Frameworks: having a direct impact on Jahia as a platform, for these, developers are not able to provide their own version of the library and must use the one exposed by Jahia.
  • Utility libraries: with a loose tie to Jahia. For these, developers are able to use the version exposed by Jahia, but it's considered a best practice to embed your own, as it can provide more flexibility in regards to your code being compatible with multiple versions of Jahia.

Utility libraries

Although Jahia exposes a fairly large set of libraries, we consider it a best practice to embed your own when developing modules. The libraries exposed by Jahia core evolves over time, with changes documented in Jahia release notes.

There are multiple ways to figure out which version of a library is exposed by Jahia:

Selecting a git tag corresponding to a Jahia version will allow you to switch between versions.
