SAP Fiori tools vs Fiori element?

Yes, I can provide some information on that.

SAP Fiori Elements is a UI technology that runs in the browser. It doesn’t matter which backend technology serves the data1.

On the other hand, SAP Fiori Tools are a set of extensions for your SAP Business Application Studio and Visual Studio Code development environment2. They are designed to simplify the development of SAP Fiori Elements applications2. Here are some key features of SAP Fiori Tools:

• Application Wizard: A wizard-style approach to generate the provided SAP Fiori elements and SAP Fiori freestyle templates2.
• Application Modeler: Provides a visualization of the application pages, navigation, and service entities2.
• Guided Development: Access to How-To guides and tutorials that explain how to implement certain functionality in an SAP Fiori elements application2.
• Service Modeler: Visualization of the OData service metadata files2.
• Maintaining Annotations with Language Server: Helps to define annotations in the code editor, thus improving application development by reducing effort and maintaining code consistency2.

In summary, while SAP Fiori Elements is a UI technology, SAP Fiori Tools are a set of extensions that aid in the development of SAP Fiori Elements applications. They work together to increase development productivity, ensure the consistency of experience between applications, and help you build a scalable experience2.
