This chapter describes how to construct URLs that transition from an external site to a Discovery Framework target page.

About deep linking
Deep linking allows users to construct URLs that take them from an external site to a target page in the Discovery Framework. In effect, these URLs act as external bookmarks to the Discovery Framework.
Deep linking URL format
Deep linking uses the deeplink URL query parameter to create external bookmarks to the Discovery Framework.
Deep linking syntax
The deeplink parameter value is a JSON array of data source states keyed by data source ID.
Deep linking examples
This topic contains a number of examples of deep linking URLs.
Resetting data source query state
To reset a data source's query state back to its base state, you pass it an empty filter.
How security is handled with deep linking
Authentication and page authorization for the deep linking feature are handled by the Liferay Portal.
