Headless CMS
Also written as Contentful, Strapi, Headless Content Management
A content management system that stores content and serves it through an API, without deciding how it looks. Editors write in it, and developers display the content in any website or app. Contentful and Strapi are common examples.
Think of it like
A newsroom that supplies stories to many newspapers, each printing them in its own layout.
