# Aura Components

:::note
Use Lightning Web Components (LWC) where possible for new development. For more information, see [Migrate Aura Components](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/platform/lwc/guide/migrate-introduction.md).

Salesforce provides prebuilt components that use the Aura programming model.

Components in the [`lightning`](/docs/platform/lightning-component-reference/guide/aura-lightning.md) namespace are known as Lightning base components, which implement Salesforce Lightning Design System (SLDS) component designs and blueprints. Lightning base components include the Aura components listed in this section and Lightning web components listed in the [Components](/docs/platform/lightning-component-reference/guide/components.md) section.

Aura components are available in these namespaces.
