Strapi is an open-source headless content management system (CMS) based on Node.js that facilitates building fast APIs using JavaScript, making it ideal for Jamstack applications. Unlike traditional CMS platforms like WordPress and Drupal, which integrate the front-end and back-end, Strapi offers flexibility by allowing developers to manage and access content via RESTful API calls, enabling cross-platform usage regardless of the programming language. This API-driven approach simplifies content management, allowing developers to deliver content across different channels without modifying front-end code and maintaining content integrity. Strapi's user-friendly interface, compatibility with plugins, and advanced features like SEO optimization, user role management, and localization make it suitable for creating scalable applications such as e-commerce sites, blogs, and delivery services. By separating the backend from the front-end, Strapi ensures that updates or performance issues in one do not affect the other, streamlining both development and maintenance processes.
