Parsys vs project container in component

We are  working on developing a custom component in AEMaaCS—let say it is  a "Banner" component. This component needs a placeholder where authors can add other components dynamically. I’m trying to decide between using an iparsys or a custom Container component that we’ve already built for our project. What would be the best approach here?  What does adobe recommend.?Any suggestions .

Hi @abhi9031 

 

Container component or the responsive grid provides more flexibility and provides more capabilities to authors to manage the layout of the template and using parsys you are restricting the styles in the custom code which is not in control of authors.

 

Hope this helps you.

 

Thanks,

To keep up with the consistent improvements, I would suggest using a component that extends from WCM Core Responsive Grid.

parsys is not recommended. 

iparsys should be used when you need to inherit components in a tree. It does not have all of the features that a Responsive Grid provides.
