The document-full-id is same as the document-id. Though, in some case, it could be alias to document-id with a document-suffix added after special character /-/. In case, when document-suffix is not present, document-full-id and document-id are same.

For a document foo.ftd, the document-id is /foo/ but document-full-id could be /foo/-/x/ where /x/ is the document-suffix. Both /foo/ and /foo/-/x/ points to foo.ftd, probably with different document-metadata.

See more document-full-id processors.

The document-id is the url of the document interface returns the location from where the compiled version of document can be accessed.

For a document foo.ftd, the document-id is /foo/ See more document-id processors.

The document-metadata is the key-value pair data provided to document-full-id in the sitemap.

See more get-data processor.

The document-suffix is the special read-only property in document-full-id which is added after special character /-/.

For /foo/-/x/ as document-full-id, /x/ is document-suffix.

This can accessed using document-suffix processor.
