What is the difference between the component and the 1C Bitrix module?

Question

1C-Bitrix

Do not immediately throw stones at me, I just started to study 1C Bitrix, like snow on my head! ) Explain intelligibly what is the difference between the component and the 1C Bitrix module?

Answer 1

A component is an element that is rendered on a page. Maybe a small element - some small form, a separate button. or maybe a whole page or even a section of the site, for example - a complex component such as a forum.
A module is sort of like a system plug-in that, when installed, copies its components and admin pages to the system, and also contains and provides these (and all others, too, if necessary) components with their functions and classes.

Answer 2

Are you familiar with the MVC pattern? In Bitrix, a module is a model, and a component is a controller. If you want to understand in more detail, check out this material: https://dev.1c-bitrix.ru/learning/course/?COURSE_I...
