To store and retrieve content, Blueriq offers the IContentManager interface. This interface allows plugins to create, read, update and delete content.

At the lowest level, content managers use an IConnection to serialize and deserialize the data. An IConnection can be a connection to anything, e.g. the file system, a database or even a REST service. Projects may write their own connections and content managers to suit their specific needs or use one of the predefined content managers. 

 The following implementations are always available:

• FileContentManager, this content manager uses a IFileSystemConnection to read and write the content to a path on the file system.
• MemoryContentManager, this content manager uses the IMemoryConnection and stores the content in-memory. This content manager is strictly for development and unit test purposes.
