Modularization and Resource HandlingLocate this document in the navigation structure

The SAPUI5 framework has built-in support for modularizing comprehensive JavaScript applications. That means, instead of defining and loading one large bundle of JavaScript code, an application can be splitted into smaller parts which then can be loaded at runtime at the time when they are needed. These smaller individual files are called modules.

    Modularization and Dependency Management
    The SAPUI5 framework has built-in support for modularizing comprehensive JavaScript applications. That means, instead of defining and loading one large bundle of JavaScript code, an application can be split into smaller parts which then can be loaded at runtime at the time when they are needed. These smaller individual files are called modules.
    Resource Handling
    The handling of resources in SAPUI5 is divided in a client-side and a server-side part. The two parts are complementary and do not depend on each other.
    Cache Buster
    A cache buster allows the application to notify the browser to refresh the resources only when the application resources have been changed. Otherwise the resources can always be fetched from the browser's cache.
    Application Cache Buster
    The Application Cache Buster (short AppCacheBuster) is similar to the Cache Buster but is used for application resources.
