Going headless with CMS and WordPress
I've been seriously contemplating about building more sites that are powered by headless content management systems. This is why I was delighted when I found out that WordPress APIs were being developed.
A headless CMS is an accessible API-powered content management that doesn't rely on a specific front facing platform. This should be a popular choice for full-stack developers like myself. I love the idea that I don't have to worry too much about the back-end and focus more on the delivery and efficiency of a site or an app. I love that I'm not tied down on a specific platform -- whether it be a mobile app or a website -- and just pull data.
The key concern I have when studying and choosing a headless CMS is in the flexibility database schema and API functions. How granular can I go in controlling my data design? How extensible is the API for me to manipulate? It can't have so many options and call types that would confuse endpoint users, or too restrictive like how Facebook APIs are designed. Oh, the horror of it. I still can't get my simple Facebook API to run on my server. I have a gripe on Facebook because of that.
(A WordPress 4.4.2 database schema)
I'm still very happy with what WordPress can offer me, and I see that WordPress APIs can satisfy my development needs. Nevertheless, looking at the database schema above, WordPress still seem a bit overwhelming.
My gut tells me to keep on looking for other headless CMS options for better solutions.
