Explain what are components in Joomla?

[AdrianG001]

A component is a kind of Joomla! extension. Components are the main functional units of Joomla!; they can be seen as mini-applications. An easy analogy would be that Joomla! is the operating system and the components are desktop applications.

Joomla is a content management system that enables you to create a website or online application from scratch, or to improve an existing website. Joomla has a modular architecture, which means that it consists of several components that can be added or removed as needed. These include the front end (the user interface), the back end (the database and authentication system), the custom modules (add-ons that allow you to add specific features to Joomla), and the language extension (a set of Java classes used by administrators to customize Joomla).

Hello pooja,

Firstly, let's discuss what Joomla means and what is the use of it.

So, Joomla is a user-friendly, free content management system (CMS) solution helping web developers create and manage their websites. The Joomla is a powerful web development tool/software used for the creation of CMS websites.

The Joomla component is one of the main building blocks of your Joomla system. When you just installed the Joomla system on your website, it consists of default components. If you like to add some cool extra features to your default Joomla website, you will have to download and install extra components for the same.

Extra components are developed and distributed by the 3-rd party developers, not by the Joomla production team.

Now, we will examine the components used in Joomla.

Default components of Joomla:

FrontPage component: It displays the contents on the front page.
WebLinks: It is a component where users can configure different link categories and add items to each category.
Banners: It allows Joomla website to create and display banners for advertising purposes.
