Archetypes is the framework/toolkit you use to create new content types in CMF and Plone. Schema driven automatic form generation, simple integration with rich content types, and a lower entry bar to the complex requirements Zope places on new content objects.
Archetypes is a developers framework for rapidly developing and deploying rich, full featured content types within the context of Zope/CMF and Plone.
Archetypes is based around the idea of an `Active Schema`. Rather than provide a simple description of a new data type, Archetype schemas do the
actual work and heavy lifting involved in using the new type. Archetype Schemas serve as easy extension points for other developers as project
specific components can be created and bound or you can choose among the rich existing set of features.
Features
- Simple schemas with working default policy.
- Power and flexibility with lowered incidental complexity.
- Full automatic form generation
- Unique Ids for objects
- Object References/Relationships
- Per Type cataloging in one or more catalogs
