ACS AEM Commons Utils APIs

Purpose

Provide common utility functionality across projects.

Overview

The best overview are the ACS AEM Commons Utils JavaDocs.

Characteristics of the ACS AEM Commons Utils are:

• Static Java classes
• Do NOT have mutable state
• Do NOT have inherent access to OSGi/JCR/Sling context and typically do not require it
  • Any required context must be passed into the utility method
