Both WCMUse and Sling Modal returns the value to the sightly. What is the difference between both of them? And when should one be used?

Refer the below page from Sling site that provides a comparison for picking the best Use Provider

Also WcmUse is bound to your component, while your sling-model can be reuse across your application.

When working with WCMUse - you need to use WCmUsePojo now.

As Feike says - this is the Java part of your component where you can define a bean you were you can populate values and display the values in the front end component. See:

[It is not a answer]

Some reference post upfront coming into my mind:-

// Implementing wcmUse (deprecated now use WCMUsePojo) is different from Sling Models. You can use both from HTL (formerly known as sightly) (not together), but according to [1] you don't need to have WcmUse and the activate() method at all. I've found [2] which covers the proper usage of wcmUse pojos with Sightly.
