Salesforce Certified Platform App Builder — Question 230

How is the Lightning Component framework different from Visualforce?

Answer options

• A. The framework can be used to build mobile apps only.
• B. The framework is client-side centric, while Visualforce relies on server calls.
• C. They are both useful in building components, but Visualforce has a simpler markup.
• D. None of the above.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the Lightning Component framework is designed for client-side processing, allowing for a more dynamic user experience without frequent server calls, unlike Visualforce, which primarily relies on server-side rendering. Options A and C misrepresent the capabilities and complexity of the frameworks, while D incorrectly suggests that all previous statements are false.
