Why Strapi?

Through application programming interfaces (APIs), Strapi enables companies to efficiently manage the distribution of content from a single source and personalize the message so that it is more suited to different channels and devices.

Unlike a traditional CMS like WordPress that bundles the backend, frontend, CSS, web server, and database, Strapi is a Headless CMS that gives developers an API (either Rest or graphQL) to power anything from websites to mobile apps through an admin interface.

Strapi is very popular with developers because it is open-source, fully customizable and based on Node.js. Strapi is vendor-agnostic, it is designed to work with all the JAMstack static site generators such as Next.js, Nuxt.js, Gatsby or Angular, supports both SQL and NoSQL databases and can be hosted anywhere
