How to Create a Content Fragment in AEM.

Simplified step by step instructions to create Content Fragment.

Content Fragments are editorial content without any experience. Which can be reused on multiple pages. To create a content fragment we require a content fragment model. The content fragment model defines the structure of content. Once the Content fragment Model is created it can be used to create content fragments for data sets. It is implemented as a dam:Asset. The content fragment can be used in AEM pages using the content fragment component or you can also use it as Raw JSON for 3rd party applications.
