Contentful CMS
Contentful is a cloud-based content management system (CMS) that relies on a headless architecture. Content is stored and managed independently of the design and presentation, which offers maximum flexibility for output on different platforms (web, mobile, IoT, etc.).
Important terms:
- Headless CMS: Separates content creation from presentation. The content is provided as an API and can be used in any front end.
- Content model: Structures content into types (e.g. articles, blog posts, products). Each structure can be defined individually
- API: Contentful makes content available via RESTful and GraphQL APIs, which enables easy integration into applications.
- Spaces: Virtual containers in which content and structures are organized.
- Entries: Individual content elements based on the content models.
- Assets: Media content such as images and videos that are managed via the CMS.
