What Is A Content Provider?

A Content Provider is one of the personas you and your team may fall under (you can be more than one).

A Content Provider is mainly concerned with:

  • Building html content that provides value and business functionality (this could be a single page application or more likely a collection of Micro UIs)
  • Using feature detection to determine if they want to take advantage of the FDC3 API to provide context data sharing or intent workflow support.
  • Using feature detection to determine if they want to take advantage of the Fin API to provide an enhanced experience.
  • Deciding if they want to take advantage of the Notification Center registered by the host platform.
  • Providing registration data so that their content can be discovered in Home, Store and Dock and whether it will participate in Intent based workflows.

A Content Provider is mainly concerned about providing content (generally in a micro UI format) that can be used by one or more platforms or run within a Browser or native app using an embedded view.
