What is Contentful CMS Headless Architecture?

Contentful is a cloud-based headless CMS that separates content management from presentation. It provides powerful APIs to create, organize, and deliver content to any platform—web, mobile, or IoT. This architecture gives developers flexibility while enabling content teams to update content without affecting the app’s structure.
