04 Feature analysis

• Attribute-driven
• Schema determines the model
• Possible to add your own attributes
• Pages + ComponentPresentations (No regions)
• Two-step approach (1. deserialize into page/cp, 2. map properties to strongly typed model)

• Attribute-driven
• View determines the model
• N→M schema→model mapping possible
• Can map multiple fields to a property
• Can flatten structure (search for mapped fields in embedded fields)
• Resolves links
• Regions created in page to group CPs
• Two-step approach

• Open, extensible
• Event-based and time-based invalidation

• Closed
• Time-based expiration

We need an overall caching layer for the entire microservice (because SDL doesn't offer this at all)

Enterprises want to decide on a caching solution themselves

• navigation.json page published from Root SG
• Based on site structure
• Simple (SG and Page title based) and Localizable (based on component content) implementations
• Logic in TBB
• Example Controller, Models and Views to implement Top nav, context nav, breadcrumb, sitemap, google sitemap

DXA?

• 1 labels JSON 'file' published per module (avoids key clashes across modules) as part of Publish Settings page publish
• Key-value pair and bespoke schema implementations supported
• Multiple labels components per module possible

• Implemented in the same way as Labels/Resources

• Linked to ViewModels
• Helper called from views to render tags

• Helper called from views to render tags
• XPM regions created automatically
• Also possible to edit 'include' pages with XPM (header/footer etc.)

• Standard structure for CM and CD for packaging modules

• CM installed with PowerShell script (CP package)
• CD installed with PowerShell script (IIS website)

• Example site installed in CMS with CP package
• Contains example schemas, templates and content (pages+components)

• Option to build and distribute HTML design from CMS
• Option to customize HTML design from CMS configuration
• Also possible to deploy as part of web app

• Easily retrieve content in data format (JSON, RSS, Atom)
• Request-time image resizing (native and using CID)
• Integrated RESS using Context Engine
• Support for public Semantics (schema.org etc.)
• Simple broker querying

• Attribute driven
• Straight deserialization in STMs
• n:m models possible
• Extensible

• Two-step approach
• Support for semantics
  
  

Might be an option to bring semantics into the databind framework.

In any case, the attribute set must be supported.

• Fully extensible
• Support for EHCache and Infinispan
• Event driven (JMS) and time based
• Dependency invalidation mechanism

• Relies on DD4T provider cache
• No further caching mechanisms found

A form of output caching may be needed. This issue is based on a couple

of DXA implementations trying to go live, but having had performance issues.

• No support for OOTB navigation

• No OOTB support for Labels

• Native XPM support

• Native XPM support

• Spring based XML

• Code config

• JSP views

• JSP Views
