# Data Sources ( Simple )

## Implicit Data Sources 

SA5 has a number of pre-defined implicit data sources, which do not like; 

* Current User Info
* WebStorage
* Cookies
* Url parts ( path, hostname, etc. )
* Query string params 

It also supports custom Data Sources, such as those built from a Collection List. 

Each data source has its own unique capabilities, so each of them is described in its own own page in this section. 

{% hint style="info" %}
Expand this element in the left side ToC for details.
{% endhint %}

Data Sources include;

* Collection-lists, which are prepared to allow 
* Arbitrary, static data-sets
* Query string params
* The current URL & URL parts
* LocalStorage items
* SessionStorage items
* Cookies
