Querying & Models
Overview of multiple ways of querying, filtering, and searching published content for use on your website.
Umbraco stores identifiers in UDI format for most Umbraco object types. This identifier stores all of the metadata required to retrieve an Umbraco object and is parseable within text. Example: umb://document/4fed18d8c5e34d5e88cfff3a5b457bf2. UDI's can be used in many of the querying APIs.
IPublishedContent is a strongly typed model for content, media, and members that is used to render content in your views for your website.
UmbracoHelper is the unified way to work with published content/media on your website. Whether you are using MVC or WebForms you will be able to use UmbracoHelper to query/traverse Umbraco published data.
IMemberManager is a user manager interface for accessing member data in the form of MemberIdentityUser and converting it to IPublishedContent.
The IPublishedContentQuery interface contains query methods for accessing strongly typed content in services etc.
The ITagQuery interface allows to work with tags in Umbraco.
The UmbracoContext is a simplified way to work with the current request on your website.
