Is it necessary to have SDL mobile installed for DXA 1.2 context image delivery to work correctly ? If I don't want to avail paid service of SDL mobile what are the different alternatives ?
1 Answer
here's what docs say-
-The default Context Engine Cartridge
installed as part of SDL Digital Experience Accelerator
is used to detect device/browser screen features and capabilities.
-This information is used to manipulate page layout and image resizing and drive a reponsive design.
-This functionality is free to use without an SDL Mobile license, however if you do have an SDL Mobile license, you can take advantage of some additional features; First request device capability detection
and Contextual Image Delivery
.
Read more at docs :Setting up Context Engine Cartridge (SDL Mobile) , hope it will clarify most of the questions.
