A ui:outputText component represents text output that is wrapped in an HTML span tag. We recommend using lightning:formattedText instead of ui:outputText.

ui:outputText can be used with ui:inputText, which takes in a text input. To apply Lightning Design System styling, we recommend that you use lightning:input instead of ui:inputText.

To display text, you can use an attribute value and bind it to the ui:outputText component.

The previous example renders the following HTML.

To display record data for Salesforce objects, use lightning:outputField with lightning:recordViewForm, or use lightning:recordForm. To display record data with a custom layout, use force:recordData.
