Ever since the release of the WordPress Rest API, there has been this buzzword flying around: Headless.
I’ve found that most of the answers as to what Headless even is are largely focused on “How” to do it as opposed to a clear response of “What” it is, and “Why” you should do it. In my talk I aim to educate on 3 approaches that I’ve come across on how to use WordPress, JavaScript, and the Rest API.
- Limbless
- Headless
- Brainless
In my talk I hope to inspire the community to further consider WordPress as more than just a CMS, but an entire Framework capable of producing anything we can imagine when partnered with JavaScript and the Rest API. I do not intend on sharing JS Framework specific examples (IE: Here is how to do this with React, or Angular, or Vue). Rather, I’m going to provide a larger picture of Pro’s and Con’s, Strengths and Weakness, Successes and Caveats to using any one of these three approaches.
