Object Smart Cards is a flexible Liferay fragment designed to display dynamic content from REST APIs as responsive card layouts. It is ideal for listing Liferay Objects, headless content, or any external API data in a clean and modern card interface. The fragment fetches data from a configurable API endpoint and renders items as customizable cards with support for search, pagination, caching, and field mapping. This allows developers and content managers to quickly create dynamic listings without building custom applications. Perfect for directories, service listings, news feeds, or any object-based content.
