Content management systems without graphql or rest apis

Question

I've been reading over the CMS content on the Webstudio website and the CMS finder. There are a few listed on the CMS finder (Spinal, DecapCMS, Front Matter, Keystatic) that don't have either GraphQL or REST APIs; they do have rich text API formats though.

Can these be used to create dynamic content?

huh, why do we have them if they can't be used as headless? @John Siciliano

John Siciliano · Answer

Technically they don't have a head, right? They are classified on there are git based/static IIRC

Is there a way to connect any of those? I like the idea of git based options.

John Siciliano · Answer

Not usually... rather the files need to be integrated with the app. Here's more info https://webstudio.is/tools/headless-cms-finder#static-gitfiles

John Siciliano · Answer

Tina and keystatic get close but IIRC they still require an app

I stopped reading at this point on the web page. I just assumed the footer was next and didn't read past that CTA. 😛Thanks for the resource.

John Siciliano · Answer

yeah... it's kind of hidden there 🙂 I wanted to make sure the CTA was visible asap, but maybe theres another way to show the content isn't hidden such as a smaller cta like a banner
