Differences Between Documentation Sites
Here’s a breakdown of the differences between the Component Library, the reference
section of this developer guide, and the Aura Reference app.
The Component Library is the place to find reference information and interactive examples. Use the Aura Reference App for JavaScript API documentation only. The Reference section in this Developer Guide provides information on system-level tags that are not available elsewhere.
