What is a headless CMS?
A headless CMS has no front-end presentation layer and delivers content via API.
Manage content at the item level—not the entire site—and edit quickly without code.
Traditional CMS = manage the whole site
Traditional CMS platforms bundle content management with the presentation layer. Managing them requires server and database expertise.
Headless CMS = manage content
Fetch content via API and CMS-enable any part of your site or app. The site itself lives outside the CMS for flexible operations.

microCMS is a Japan-made API-based headless CMS—a fundamentally different approach from traditional CMS platforms.
