It outshines other&nbsp;CMSes because of its versatility to integrate smoothly with other solutions in the Experience Cloud&nbsp;that&nbsp;offer&nbsp;a complete set of tools for an enterprise.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>AEM<\/strong><strong>\u2019s core<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;can\u2019t be more&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>o<\/strong><strong>pen&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>s<\/strong><strong>ource<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul><li> The core of AEM is laid upon CRX repository, a<strong> Java Content Repository (JCR) <\/strong>which is based on <strong>Apache Jackrabbit<\/strong> (a project of Apache Software Foundation, one of the world\u2019s largest open source foundation). &nbsp;It supports versioning, full text search, transactions, event management, data persistence, storage, etc.&nbsp;with&nbsp;the help of&nbsp;an open source society.&nbsp;JCR vanishes the need for an external database by&nbsp;providing features to store and retrieve data efficiently.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<\/li><li>The modular architecture of AEM is&nbsp;provided by&nbsp;<strong>OSGi<\/strong>  (Open Services Gateway Initiative), an open source framework which is implemented as Apache Felix. The initiative is highly supported by Adobe developers as well. OSGi is fully utilized in AEM as all the bundles of AEM are managed by OSGi.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<\/li><li>Moreover,<strong> Apache<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Sling<\/strong>&nbsp;provides a RESTful architecture and an open source web framework. It communicates with underlying JCR to complete the entire AEM stack flow.&nbsp;The technology stack of AEM comprising these three key elements is entirely built upon open source.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>MongoMK<\/strong>&nbsp;is a backend storage facility allowing linear scalability. This open source solution is the true spirit of AEM when it comes to big data, high performance and scalability. It handles a massive amount of data for content rich websites or for websites having unanticipated user growth. MongoDB comes handy with AEM and can help in growing and scaling up the deployment to ensure high customer satisfaction.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Lucene&nbsp;Solr<\/strong>, built on <strong>Apache Lucene<\/strong>, is another open source scalable enterprise-search platform that gets embedded into AEM for search functionalities making it&nbsp;easier for users of this CMS. Apart from&nbsp;Solr&nbsp;search, AEM can also use features of Elastic Search which is another Open source platform used for enterprise search.<br><br><\/li><li>AEM integrates seamlessly with&nbsp;<strong>Magento<\/strong>, an open source e-commerce platform used for crafting unique&nbsp;retail&nbsp;digital experiences for&nbsp;brands.<br><br><\/li><li>AEM&nbsp;project is packed together into a cohesive module (multi-module structure) with many open source dependencies that is in turn managed by&nbsp;<strong>Apache Maven<\/strong>. In a sense, for the development of AEM&nbsp;project, various open source libraries are used.&nbsp; <br>&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>AEM experts contribute to various open GitHub&nbsp;repositories. So, in effect, AEM can be considered as one of the most reliable commercial WCM platforms which openly discusses issues in its forums and portals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Not&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>c<\/strong><strong>onvinced yet?&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>Here\u2019s m<\/strong><strong>ore for the&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>d<\/strong><strong>iscerning&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>r<\/strong><strong>eaders<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The release of core components&nbsp;of&nbsp;AEM&nbsp;by Adobe&nbsp;under open source license is a hope that AEM and Adobe might be moving towards the Digital Distribution Model.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote style=\"text-align:center\" class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large\"><p><strong>Not a claim, just a HOPE! <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>This component store within AEM is a playing field for developers. They can submit generic components to be used in AEM such as multiple variants of RTE, Hero, responsive components,&nbsp;etc. This lays the foundation for a new world of exploration, development and vision. These core components would enhance the ease-of-use of AEM for content authors and would open a wide arena for developers contributing to open source communities and portals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a new hype and renewed excitement in the CMS world around headless&nbsp;CMSes, i.e.&nbsp;CMSes&nbsp;without the front end (head) implementation feature. These&nbsp;CMSes&nbsp;can&nbsp;deliver&nbsp;content through APIs&nbsp;for&nbsp;utilization&nbsp;in Android app, iOS app, Windows and any platform we can think of. It is a powerful feature for web and app developers.&nbsp;With AEM being a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.argildx.us\/experience\/what-is-a-hybrid-headless-cms-how-it-helps-businesses\/\">hybrid CMS<\/a>, you get this advantage as well as that of a traditional CMS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Content and experience fragments in AEM&nbsp;provide a similar feature with an ocean of highlights. Content fragments expose their content in the form of JSON that can be used with any platform. On the other hand, experience fragments are reusable fragments of a page that can be consumed by a third-party system or app to deliver relevant experiences to customers. They can be used to build reusable experiences, delivering&nbsp;content for context-specific variations and omnichannel commerce.&nbsp;So here, AEM can be used&nbsp;for&nbsp;a Content as a Service (CaaS)&nbsp;model.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.argildx.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/wow.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7421\" width=\"363\" height=\"363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.argildx.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/wow.png 600w, https:\/\/www.argildx.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/wow-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.argildx.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/wow-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.argildx.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/wow-250x250.png 250w, https:\/\/www.argildx.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/wow-230x230.png 230w, https:\/\/www.argildx.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/wow-231x231.png 231w, https:\/\/www.argildx.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/wow-168x168.png 168w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 363px) 100vw, 363px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Game of comparisons&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>While comparing free and open source CMS solutions with AEM,&nbsp;people are initially tempted with zero software cost but&nbsp;unaware of the inherent costs lying within TCO (Total Cost of Ownership).

The open source development gets active contributions and engagement from developers at Adobe as well as other active technology communities.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":5} -->\n<h5><strong>Welcome to the bright side of AEM!<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h5>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>AEM is not just polished and garnished with Adobe\u2019s limelight.

It outshines other&nbsp;CMSes because of its versatility to integrate smoothly with other solutions in the Experience Cloud&nbsp;that&nbsp;offer&nbsp;a complete set of tools for an enterprise.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":5} -->\n<h5><strong>AEM<\/strong><strong>\u2019s core<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;can\u2019t be more&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>o<\/strong><strong>pen&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>s<\/strong><strong>ource<\/strong><\/h5>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><li> The core of AEM is laid upon CRX repository, a<strong> Java Content Repository (JCR) <\/strong>which is based on <strong>Apache Jackrabbit<\/strong> (a project of Apache Software Foundation, one of the world\u2019s largest open source foundation). &nbsp;It supports versioning, full text search, transactions, event management, data persistence, storage, etc.&nbsp;with&nbsp;the help of&nbsp;an open source society.&nbsp;JCR vanishes the need for an external database by&nbsp;providing features to store and retrieve data efficiently.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<\/li><li>The modular architecture of AEM is&nbsp;provided by&nbsp;<strong>OSGi<\/strong>  (Open Services Gateway Initiative), an open source framework which is implemented as Apache Felix. The initiative is highly supported by Adobe developers as well. OSGi is fully utilized in AEM as all the bundles of AEM are managed by OSGi.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<\/li><li>Moreover,<strong> Apache<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Sling<\/strong>&nbsp;provides a RESTful architecture and an open source web framework. It communicates with underlying JCR to complete the entire AEM stack flow.&nbsp;The technology stack of AEM comprising these three key elements is entirely built upon open source.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>MongoMK<\/strong>&nbsp;is a backend storage facility allowing linear scalability. This open source solution is the true spirit of AEM when it comes to big data, high performance and scalability. It handles a massive amount of data for content rich websites or for websites having unanticipated user growth. MongoDB comes handy with AEM and can help in growing and scaling up the deployment to ensure high customer satisfaction.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Lucene&nbsp;Solr<\/strong>, built on <strong>Apache Lucene<\/strong>, is another open source scalable enterprise-search platform that gets embedded into AEM for search functionalities making it&nbsp;easier for users of this CMS. Apart from&nbsp;Solr&nbsp;search, AEM can also use features of Elastic Search which is another Open source platform used for enterprise search.<br><br><\/li><li>AEM integrates seamlessly with&nbsp;<strong>Magento<\/strong>, an open source e-commerce platform used for crafting unique&nbsp;retail&nbsp;digital experiences for&nbsp;brands.<br><br><\/li><li>AEM&nbsp;project is packed together into a cohesive module (multi-module structure) with many open source dependencies that is in turn managed by&nbsp;<strong>Apache Maven<\/strong>.

These core components would enhance the ease-of-use of AEM for content authors and would open a wide arena for developers contributing to open source communities and portals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>There is a new hype and renewed excitement in the CMS world around headless&nbsp;CMSes, i.e.&nbsp;CMSes&nbsp;without the front end (head) implementation feature. These&nbsp;CMSes&nbsp;can&nbsp;deliver&nbsp;content through APIs&nbsp;for&nbsp;utilization&nbsp;in Android app, iOS app, Windows and any platform we can think of. It is a powerful feature for web and app developers.&nbsp;With AEM being a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.argildx.us\/experience\/what-is-a-hybrid-headless-cms-how-it-helps-businesses\/\">hybrid CMS<\/a>, you get this advantage as well as that of a traditional CMS.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Content and experience fragments in AEM&nbsp;provide a similar feature with an ocean of highlights. Content fragments expose their content in the form of JSON that can be used with any platform. On the other hand, experience fragments are reusable fragments of a page that can be consumed by a third-party system or app to deliver relevant experiences to customers. They can be used to build reusable experiences, delivering&nbsp;content for context-specific variations and omnichannel commerce.&nbsp;So here, AEM can be used&nbsp;for&nbsp;a Content as a Service (CaaS)&nbsp;model.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":7421,\"align\":\"center\",\"width\":363,\"height\":363} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.argildx.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/wow.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7421\" width=\"363\" height=\"363\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":5} -->\n<h5><strong>The Game of comparisons&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h5>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>While comparing free and open source CMS solutions with AEM,&nbsp;people are initially tempted with zero software cost but&nbsp;unaware of the inherent costs lying within TCO (Total Cost of Ownership).
