        key1: value1,
        key2: value2 
     }

Store

A collection of multiple records intended to populate a UI component like a Dataview or a Grid

Model

A definition of record specifications representing an entry in a store of records

Proxy

The path (url) and means (type, like ajax) by which data is accessed in an Ext JS application

Component

a Class definition specifically for a user interface widget and/or an object derived from it

Config

A common reference (short for “configuration”), in “name=value” pair format, to the settings made on an object using Ext JS properties, like title: ‘Welcome to Ext JS’, to obtain a certain functionality in an app

Xtype
