Understanding the headless CMS architecture
What is a Headless CMS?
A headless CMS separates the content repository from the presentation layer. Unlike traditional CMS platforms, a headless CMS provides content through APIs, allowing you to build any type of frontend.
Traditional vs Headless
Traditional CMS: Content creation and presentation are tightly coupled. The CMS controls how content is displayed.
Headless CMS: Content is delivered via API to any platform - websites, mobile apps, AI agents, IoT devices.
Benefits
- Frontend flexibility: Use any technology - React, Vue, native apps, static sites
- Omnichannel content: Same content across websites, apps, and AI agents
- Better performance: Enable static generation and CDN caching
- AI integration: AI agents can directly access and manage content via MCP
