Demandware itself is written in Java but the coding syntax is entirely different. It basically consists of the following

  • ISML files - that are similar to HTML files with additional DW syntaxes

  • ds files. These are script files that can perform backend logic

  • xml Pipelines - Visual/Functional representation of a logic is given in a Pipeline. ex. Cart-MinicartAdd would add an item to the minicart.

  • css,js These are normal css js files that are used like in any other web application
