### Alfresco Data Model
[](https://travis-ci.com/Alfresco/alfresco-data-model)
Data model is a library packaged as a jar file which is part of [Alfresco Content Services Repository](https://community.alfresco.com/docs/DOC-6385-project-overview-repository).
The library contains the following:
* Dictionary, Repository and Search Services interfaces
* Models for data types and Dictionary implementation
* Parsers
Please note that the data model uses version 2 of the Jackson libraries.
The upgrade from version 1 was not backward compatible, any projects
that are dependent on data model using Jackson 1.x should use the data-model 6.N branch.
Version 8.0 of data-model depends on alfresco-core 7.0 which is based on Spring 5.
