<h1 class="title">Why eZ Components?</h1>
<p>eZ Components is a high-quality library of independent <a class="reference" href="/introduction/overview">components</a> that aid
in the development of Web-centric applications.</p>
<div class="section">
<h1><a id="powerful-and-independent" name="powerful-and-independent">Powerful and Independent</a></h1>
<p>eZ Components is engineered with a full feature set in mind, providing you with
powerful building blocks for your application.</p>
<p>Each component is also completely independent from the other components, which
allows you to choose exactly which parts of the library you want to use in your
application. The eZ Components library does not dictate how you organize your
application; instead, it provides you with the flexibility to decide how
and when to use each component. In addition, all of the components' APIs are
engineered in a similar way, making them as consistent as possible.</p>
</div>
<div class="section">
<h1><a id="effective-and-high-quality" name="effective-and-high-quality">Effective and High Quality</a></h1>
<p>A library's usefulness stems from its individual components. Each eZ Component
focuses its attention on solving important parts of Web application
development. The components are lean and effective, created to solve specific
recurring issues that developers face.</p>
<p>Quality is of utmost importance. The eZ Components development team uses a
test-driven development methodology that maximizes API usability. This results
in a robust and reliable API.</p>
</div>
<div class="section">
<h1><a id="easily-accessible-open-source-company-backed" name="easily-accessible-open-source-company-backed">Easily Accessible, Open Source, Company-Backed</a></h1>
<p><a class="reference" href="/docs">Documentation</a> is what makes working with a components library such as eZ
Components accessible. Good documentation is extremely valuable because it
enables developers to get the most out of the library. For each of the
components, the documentation includes a <a class="reference" href="/docs/tutorials">tutorial</a> that introduces the API and
gives an overview of the functionality, as well as a thorough API <a class="reference" href="/docs/api">reference</a>
specification. Additionally, <a class="reference" href="/resources/articles">articles</a> build on top of the documentation to
provide more in-depth information about specific components.</p>
<p>eZ Components is published under an open license model. The <a class="reference" href="/introduction/license">New BSD
license</a> is very
permissive and opens up the use of the library to as many developers as
possible. An open source license also facilitates stronger community
involvement.</p>
<p>All of the development processes are <a class="reference" href="/contributing/dev_process">well-documented</a> and made as transparent
as possible for users and external contributors. The eZ Components team is
responsible for code and project maintenance and oversees that the development
processes are followed. Users are thus assured that eZ Components can be
counted on for ongoing quality, relevance, and usefulness.</p>
