Pages

Page JSON representation

The top level page object in the JSON representation returned by a Delivery API's Pages endpoint request represents the actual page model. It contains a flattened list of objects that represents the page component hierarchy and associated content items and menus.

Each object is represented by a root element with a unique identifier as object name and has a type property indicating what type of object it is.

For example:

"page":{
      "u1f0e3c3dc4c942bfb13130def8714ccd":{
          "type" : "component"
          ...
      },
      ...
      "ue00e981de17b43029559bbeee66df918":{
          "type" : "container" 
          ...
      }, 
      ...
      "u1ca07af9cdf54bdd9908f991245bb062":{
          "type" : "document"
          ...
      },
    }

Each object contained within a page is of one of the following types, grouped into three separately documented informal categories for convenience:

Components: 

• type = component
  
• type = container
  
• type = container-item
  

Content Items:

• type = document
  
• type = componentcontent
  
• type = asset
  
• type = imageset
  

Menus:

• type = menu
  

SPAs can filter the objects based on their type property. For example, the frontend may not be interested in 'menu' objects on consecutive requests.
