Strapi is an open-source, headless Content Management System (CMS) designed to empower developers. Its primary purpose is to provide a flexible and developer-friendly way to manage content and serve it through APIs to any frontend application or device. Unlike traditional CMS platforms that tightly couple content management with presentation, Strapi separates these concerns, offering unparalleled freedom in how you build and deploy your digital experiences.

The platform allows you to create custom content structures (content types) through an intuitive admin panel, define relationships between them, and manage your content efficiently. Strapi then automatically generates RESTful or GraphQL APIs based on these definitions, making it incredibly easy to fetch and deliver your content to websites, mobile apps, IoT devices, and more. This headless approach ensures that your content is future-proof and can be delivered across a multitude of channels without reformatting or rebuilding.

Strapi is built with Node.js and is highly customizable. Developers can extend its functionality with plugins, integrate with various services, and tailor the admin panel to their specific needs. Its emphasis on developer experience, combined with its powerful features and open-source nature, makes it a popular choice for building modern, scalable, and performant applications.
