Overview
Unlike traditional CMSs (like WordPress) that couple content with a specific display layer, a Headless CMS is 'decoupled.' It provides tools to manage content but leaves the presentation (the frontend) to the developer.
Advantages
- Omnichannel Delivery: Serve content to websites, mobile apps, and IoT devices from one source.
- Developer Freedom: Use any frontend framework (React, Vue, etc.).
- Scalability: Easier to scale the frontend and backend independently.
Examples
- Payload CMS
- Contentful
