Aura is a UI framework for developing dynamic web apps for mobile and desktop devices, while providing a scalable long-lived lifecycle to support building apps engineered for growth. It supports partitioned multi-tier component development that bridges the client and server.
To find out more about Aura, see the Aura Documentation site.
You can build your user interface at a granular level and easily integrate with popular toolkits and libraries, such as jQuery. Aura's lightweight and scalable architecture uses two key building blocks: components and events.
Components use markup that looks similar to HTML.
