FAQs
What is a headless architecture?
A headless architecture separates the content repository (backend) from the presentation layer (frontend). Content is delivered via APIs, allowing it to be displayed on websites, mobile apps, IoT devices, and more, offering maximum flexibility.
What are the main benefits of going headless?
The key benefits include omnichannel content delivery, faster development cycles, greater flexibility for developers and content creators, improved performance due to lighter frontends, and easier integration with other services.
How does headless differ from traditional CMS?
Unlike coupled or monolithic systems where the backend and frontend are tightly linked, a headless system is decoupled. Traditional CMS often dictate the presentation layer, while a headless CMS provides content via API for any presentation.
Is headless architecture suitable for developers?
Yes, headless is ideal for empowering developers to build any kind of frontend experience using their preferred technologies, while allowing content creators to manage content centrally.
