Heading towards Headless CMS
Do you still follow traditional CMS systems to build websites?
But do you know in the new era of virtual reality, bots, digital assistants, and the Internet of Things have made it even more complex? Today the content can be displayed on any device using any format. This requires a new approach to how we manage and publish content. In the past 10 years, with the mobile revolution, we have started to consume content through mobile applications. And for this reason, the concept of headless CMS was introduced. It eliminates the front-end part making the presentation layer much more flexible. It provides the content only through its application programming interface (API). The CMS vendor takes care of everything else, you just need to focus on your website or mobile app.A headless CMS content repository that is back-end only content management system (CMS) built from the ground up and it makes content accessible via a RESTful API for display on any device.
The term “headless” best described as the concept of chopping the “head” (the front end, i.e. the website) off the “body” (the back end, i.e. the content repository).
A headless CMS follows the approach of remaining with an interface to add content and to deliver content that uses a RESTful API (JSON, XML) wherever you need it. A headless CMS due to this approach does not care about how and where your content gets displayed. Storing and delivering structured content is the main focus of headless CMS. Headless CMS counterpart is called monolithic, regular or coupled CMS.
This headless CMS is not limited to the website but can be used on Andriod, an iOS app, as well as any platform and technology and, is a powerful option for mobile and web developers.
What are the benefits of Headless CMS?
Rapid Deployment: - Code in any language. Get up and running fast!Omnichannel Content: - Content in the cloud. Instantly ready for any device.
Agile and Flexible: - Be ready and responsive to anything.
Future-proof: - No technological boundaries. The future is headless.
