Chapter 11. Introducing Navigation Components
Typically, web applications have many screens and users navigate through the screens using various types of navigation menus. HTML has a very basic support for navigating through screens using hyperlinks or form submissions. Various JavaScript libraries provide a rich set of navigation components such as drop-down menus, pop-up menus, tabbed menus, and so on. PrimeFaces brings support for most of the rich navigation menu components to JSF-based applications.
PrimeFaces provides various navigation components such as Menu, TieredMenu, Menubar, MegaMenu, TabMenu, ContextMenu, Breadcrumb menu, and so on.
