• Key Concepts: 
  Data binding is a feature of the SAP UI development toolkit for HTML5, also known as CA-UI5. It allows developers to bind data from the application model to the UI elements of the application. This means that when the data in the application model changes, the UI elements will automatically update to reflect those changes. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Data binding can be used in CA-UI5 applications by creating a binding between an element in the UI and a property in the application model. This is done by using the “data-binding” attribute in the HTML code of the element. The value of this attribute should be set to the name of the property in the application model that should be bound to this element. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using data binding, it is important to remember that changes made to the UI elements will not be reflected in the application model until an explicit “save” action is performed. This means that if you make changes to an element and then navigate away from that page without saving, those changes will be lost.
