Explore the concept of headless CMS, its benefits, and why it’s becoming a popular choice for developers and content creators alike.

In the evolving world of web development, the term "Headless CMS" has become increasingly popular. But what exactly does it mean? A headless CMS is a content management system that provides a way to manage content separately from the presentation layer (the "head").

Traditionally, CMS platforms like WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal are monolithic, meaning they manage both the content (backend) and the presentation (frontend) in a single integrated system. This all-in-one approach simplifies development for non-technical users but can limit flexibility and scalability for developers looking to create more dynamic and customized digital experiences.

A headless CMS decouples the backend from the frontend, allowing developers to use any technology to present the content. The backend only manages and stores the content and exposes it via APIs (usually RESTful or GraphQL). This means you can use the same backend to serve content to a website, mobile app, or any other digital platform.
