             Summary: Extract and generalize the Sling Mocks ContentBuilder
                 Key: SLING-5356
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-5356
             Project: Sling
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: General
            Reporter: Bertrand Delacretaz
            Priority: Minor


As discussed recently on our dev list the {{ContentBuilder}} currently provided by the Sling Mocks library [1] can be very useful in testing. 

In order to make it usable for both client-side and server-side testing (as well as in server-side code) I'm planning to

* Extract it into its own module
* Define an API that allows for creating nodes and properties, importing JSON and other files via the Sling ContentLoader and providing a simple a way to cleanup the test content
* Implement (first) a server-side version of that API
* Implement (as a second priority) a client-side version that can be used in test run via HTTP

This shouldn't affect the existing Sling Mocks library users, except maybe forcing them to rebuild their tests to use the new API.
