The text explores the distinction between data and content, emphasizing that while data is raw and context-free, content provides meaning through context and structure. This differentiation is crucial in the realm of content management systems (CMS), particularly Headless CMSs, which separate content structure into fields and allow for greater flexibility in digital experiences. The author, a co-founder of Strapi, argues that while developers benefit from treating content as data to build personalized and dynamic applications, content editors require user-friendly interfaces that facilitate storytelling and creativity. The text suggests that maintaining a clear boundary between content and data is essential as CMSs evolve, allowing for enhanced digital experiences that cater to both technical and creative needs.
