Overview

Development teams can deliver content through GraphQL APIs to websites, applications, commerce experiences, portals, and other digital channels. Its Content Federation capability can expose selected data from external systems through the same API.
The platform includes content modeling, localization, asset management, environments, permissions, workflows, versioning, webhooks, and collaboration tools. It supports frontend frameworks including Next.js, Nuxt, Astro, and SvelteKit.
