What Is Salesforce Lightning?

Salesforce Lightning makes it easier to build responsive applications for any device, and encompasses the Lightning Component framework and helpful tools for developers.
Lightning includes these technologies.
  • Lightning components accelerate development and app performance. Develop custom components that other developers and admins can use as reusable building blocks to customize Experience Builder sites, the Salesforce mobile app, and Lightning Experience.
  • Lightning App Builder empowers admins to build Lightning pages visually, without code, using off-the-shelf and custom-built Lightning components. Make your Lightning components available in the Lightning App Builder so administrators can build custom user interfaces without code.
  • Experience Builder empowers admins to build sites visually using templates and components. Make your Lightning components available in Experience Builder so administrators can build site pages without code.

Some Salesforce products built with the Lightning framework include:

You don’t need to enable Lightning Experience to use Experience Builder templates or develop Lightning components. Experience Builder sites use the same underlying technology as Lightning Experience, but they’re independent of each other.
