Traditional Drupal websites leveraged Drupal for both content rendering on the front end and content management on the back end as it wasn’t possible to separate the two. This implies that Drupal significantly affected their styling which wasn’t always appreciated. However, today companies have the complete freedom to separate their site’s Drupal-based backend from the frontend through headless Drupal.
This new and innovative Drupal decoupled approach has bestowed websites with an added layer of functionality and immense customization capabilities. Developers can freely opt for the front end of their choice and ensure that the site possesses the desired styling. The front end communicates with the backend through an API. This blog digs into Drupal's headless architecture in detail and discusses why it is so effective.
