What is Strapi?

Strapi is an open-source headless CMS that allows you to create, manage, and distribute content via APIs, separating the content from the interface where it is displayed.

In Strapi 5, editors manage content in a dashboard, and developers integrate it into websites and applications.

How does Strapi work?

Content types, such as articles, pages, or products, are created. Strapi automatically generates REST endpoints and can provide GraphQL support via a plugin. The frontend queries these APIs and displays the information.

What is Strapi used for?

It is used to centralize and reuse content across custom websites, applications, portals, multi-site projects, or headless commerce solutions.

Advantages of Strapi

It offers flexibility, content reuse, and integration with other systems. Because it is extensible, it adapts to specific requirements.

Strapi vs. WordPress

Examples of Use

A single Strapi instance can power a website, an app, and a portal, or serve as a CMS for projects built with React, Next.js, or Astro.

Who should use Strapi?

It is relevant for projects with custom front ends, multiple channels, integrations, or greater control over the architecture.
