We could have used serialized objects or arrays as well, but decided to go for TypoScript, since this can easily be written by advanced integrators. For those, who are not familiar with TypoScript or just prefer the usability of a point and click interface, there is a comfortable Grid Wizard, that will help to create the TypoScript code. Later on it might be more convenient to modify the structures by hand, especially when backend layouts that are based on a similar structure haven’t got too many differences.

The syntax we use to store information about the grid structure within the page and CE backend layout records is basically TypoScript . Both grid view and grid elements are using the internal TS parser of the core to transform this syntax into an array, which is then used by the different methods we attached to the hooks provided by the core.
