A List of Headless Content Management Systems.

Un sistema de gestión de contenidos sin cabeza, o CMS sin cabeza, es un sistema de gestión de contenidos de back-end que actúa principalmente como un repositorio de contenidos. Un CMS sin cabeza hace que el contenido sea accesible a través de una API para mostrarlo en cualquier dispositivo sin una capa de presentación o front-end incorporada. El término “sin cabeza” proviene del concepto de cortar la “cabeza” (la parte delantera) del “cuerpo” (la parte trasera).
