Provides abstraction around the way content is referred to in the system

Abstracts the process of reading and writing to files behind ContentReader and ContentWriter objects, tied together by a ContentService that simplifies the creation and management of these objects.

Content items are then referred to by their ContentId, which is a string that represents the type of storage and a way of retrieving the content from that storage location, eg

file:||content/folder/342/1233e342/filename.txt

Included is a Filesystem based implementation of ContentReader/Writer pair, which stores content on the filesystem in a content/ directory.
