Creating Proxy Templates examples

AEM's core components provide several basic building blocks for creating content. This includes Text, Image and Title and several other components. These can be included in your project by creating a cq:Component for each one and using the sling:resourceSuperType property to point to the Core Component. This is known as creating proxy components and is the recommended way of using Core Components in your project.
