Component Docs Index

Below is an index of the documentation for ADF. The User Guide section discusses particular techniques in depth. The other sections are references for the ADF libraries. Click the name of an item to see its documentation or click the source link to see its main source file. Note that ADF is developed continuously, so the source files for some items may be listed here before their documentation is available.

Components are sometimes marked with an icon to show their status. No icon indicates that the component is complete and suitable for normal use. The other status levels are:

• Deprecated - The component is still available but is now obsolete and will probably be removed in a future version of ADF.
• Experimental - The component is available for experimentation but not fully complete and tested for production code.
• Internal - The component is available for internal test use but not meant to be used in production

There is also a set of ADF tutorials that describe how to accomplish tasks step-by-step. See the Tutorials index for the full list.

A few other pages of information are also available:

• The Version Index has a list of components ordered by the ADF version where they were introduced.
• The Release notes section has details of all the features introduced and bugs fixed with each release.
• The Version compatibility page shows which versions of Alfresco's backend servies (ACS and APS) are compatible with each released version of ADF.
• The Roadmap contains a preview of features we hope to release in future versions of ADF.
• The License info section lists the third-party libraries used by ADF along with links to their Open Source licenses.
• The Vulnerability section lists the third-party libraries known vulnerability. libraries used by ADF along with links to their Open Source licenses.
• The Breaking changes section lists all breaking changes between major versions, such as removal of deprecated items.
• The Upgrade guide explains how to upgrade your project from an earlier version of ADF to the current version.
