Using the Hub Control
The Hub control is new with WinJS 2.0. The control provides you with a way to organize the content in your app into different sections. Each section can have a custom layout.
For example, the Store app included in Windows 8.1 uses the Hub control (see Figure 4.22). When you open the store and view the home-page, you can see all of the available apps organized into different sections such as New Releases and Top Paid. These different sections were created with the Hub control.
