Listing and working with Plone content objects using plone.app.contentlisting

This is valid for Plone 4.1 upwards.

Many of the operations for customizations, templates, views and portlets in Plone are related to lists of content objects. Their sources can be different, although usually they are some sort of catalog search, the contents of a particular folder or a list of objects from a relation.

To make it simpler to work with these, we have made plone.app.contentlisting, which ensures that lists of content objects always behave in the same way and according to predefined interfaces, regardless of what the source of the objects are. The integrator shouldn't have to care whether the list of objects came from the catalog, an ORM or they are the actual objects.
