HTL Global Objects htl-global-objects

Without having to specify anything, HTL provides access to many objects useful to the developer. These objects are in addition to any that may be introduced through the Use-API.

NOTE

For developers familiar with JSP development in AEM, HTL provides access to all objects that were commonly available in JSP after including global.jsp.

Enumerable Objects enumerable-objects

These objects provide convenient access to commonly used information. Their content can be accessed with dot notation, and they can be iterated-through using data-sly-list or data-sly-repeat.

JavaScript-backed Objects javascript-backed-objects

It is possible to back HTL logic with JavaScript. However, the preferred or recommended method is by using Sling Models.

NOTE

The JavaScript Use API is now deprecated for use with AEM as a Cloud Service. Instead, use the Java Use API.

For more information on deprecated and removed features, see the AEM as a Cloud Service release notes.
