into a single interface, the using point-and-click, code-free
mode. The benefit of integration extends to all enterprise
data, whether stored in Salesforce or any external system.

Lightning Component Framework and

What are Components?
Components are the self-contained and reusable units of an
app
A component can contain other components, as well as HTML,
CSS, JavaScript, or any other Web-enabled code. This enables
you to build apps with sophisticated UIs.
Components are rendered to produce HTML DOM elements within
the browser.

The details of a component's implementation are encapsulated.
This allows the consumer of a component to focus on building
their app, while the component author can innovate and make
changes without breaking consumers.
