Resource Files are nodes you can add to a package_2 Project and store any kind of file. Each Resource File stores one file. While you can use Resource Files to store any kind of file in a Project, there are several areas in Grooper that can reference Resource Files to one end or another, including XML schema files used for Grooper's XML Schema Integration.

Resource File objects are created by dragging and dropping a file onto a Project object within Grooper. These files become part of the Project's resources and can be referenced and utilized throughout the project for various purposes such as:

defining data structures
storing CSS style sheets used by multiple Content Models
keep Project notes in Grooper
providing scripts
supplying any other additional information required during the processing of documents

This taxonomy is defined by the collections_bookmark Content Categories and description Document Types they contain. Content Models serve as the root of a Content Type hierarchy, which defines Data Element inheritance and Behavior inheritance. Content Models are crucial for organizing documents for data extraction and more.

Project: package_2 Projects are the primary containers for configuration nodes within Grooper. The Project is where various processing objects such as stacks Content Models, settings Batch Processes, profile objects are stored. This makes resources easier to manage, easier to save, and simplifies how node references are made in a Grooper Repository.
