We no longer need nor should we be putting our content in a box. There is a vast array of devices from desktop to mobile to watches to cars that need flexible and easily accessible content. The only way to provide content to these destinations is to start our content in the place it will eventually need to go: the API. Gone are the days of building out a legacy monolithic content management system, because developers are gravitating to the “ ” to allow them to build apps using their favorite frameworks and technologies, while giving their marketers and content managers a web-based Dashboard to create and manage content with simple, scalable content modeling tools. Content and code remain decoupled, allowing each member of a cross-functional team to work with only the tools they need to get their job done. headless CMS offers a headless CMS that enables content managers and developers to work better together.
