# File system - Mappings

We distinguish 3 different mapping types:

- "component" mappings used to map components (similar to a classpath in Java),
- "custom tag" mappings used to map custom tags
- "regular mappings" for the rest ([<cfinclude>](../reference/tags/include.md), [<cffile>](../reference/tags/file.md) ...).

* [Component Mappings](component-mappings.md)
* [Custom Tag Mappings](custom-tag-mappings.md)
