A conversation with my sister in law — Also software Engineer- took place a few days ago and while we were talking about DatoCMS, I remembered all the hard time I had facing when trying to use my -already created- cms on a new angular application, the difference about the other times I used DatoCMS, was that I was implementing it on a React App, and that is a game changer for this wonderful cms

Dato CMS is one of the most popular headless CMS out there, and briefly, why are all those CMS so trending now?

First of all, what the heck headless CMS means:

If you are used to a traditional CMS such a  WordPress, this can be very easy to picture in your mind.

Let’s say a traditional CMS is a Body, where the ‘head’ is the frontend and the ‘body’ the backend. If you remove that frontend piece of code (head), you are left with a Headless CMS.

Traditional CMS vs Headless CMS

All the science behind this type of CMS is about not to be attached to a frontend system, that means by default, every headless CMS out there is frontend agnostic, meaning your content can be published and showed in the way you want, with the framework you want, and also on multiples sources at the same time.

Isn’t cool, right?
