Welcome to the documentation of Umbraco Jet

Umbraco Jet (uJet) is a Code First approach to building MVC applications in Umbraco 7. Declare your document, media, member, and data types in code, and have uJet move them into Umbraco for you - simplifying development, deployment and versioning.

uJet is capable of serving you with instances of your document types. With uJet you’re no longer bound by the RenderModel, or by the constraints set by the built-in ControllerActionInvoker. uJet brings you strongly typed views without you having to roll your own view models.

uJet is a developer tool for Umbraco 7, released as Open Source (MIT). It supports document types and media types (including inheritance and composition), member types, data types, and template synchronization.
