Abstract:
Examples are disclosed for a navigation system that facilitates navigation through hierarchically-related views within a user interface using multiple independent entry points. In one example, a system is configured to generate a user interface that includes a hierarchy of views based on navigation data and display a plurality of navigation components in the user interface. A selection of a navigation entry is received that corresponds to a desired view from one of the navigation components. A request is sent to a remote navigation service for data associated with the navigation entry of the desired view. The navigation components are updated based on updated navigation data received from the remote navigation service. An updated user interface is displayed that includes a dynamically generated view for the navigation entry based on the updated structure of the hierarchy of views in the plurality of navigation components.
