Bower is a package manager for the web that manages components like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Bower is optimized for frontend development, allowing you to easily manage dependencies and package your own components. Artifactory offers comprehensive support for Bower with centralized package storage and management, and integration with the Bower CLI. Use Bower repositories in Artifactory as a central, reliable source for all your frontend packages. You can also use Artifactory to proxy the public Bower registry and host your internal packages, providing consistent and secure access to your dependencies. For more information, see Bower documentation.

Robust Metadata Capabilities: Calculate metadata for Bower packages hosted in Artifactory's local repositories.
