Component is the most important Elxis extension type.
Components are the most important Elxis applications. Components are the extensions that actually generate the page's main output and handle the user's request. Other extensions such as modules, plugins, search engines and authentication methods have only a help role in Elxis. If you take a look at an Elxis generated page the component's output will be the one in the center of the page. Modules are like widgets being displayed in the left or right column or even on the site's top and bottom sections. If, for example, a user has requested to see an article Elxis will display it in the center of the page and this will be the output of a specific component that handled that request, component Content. Now that we are able to locate components output on a page let's see some more interesting things about them.
