How do you implement a Joomla site with a headless CMS approach?

Answer: Here’s how to approach building a Joomla site with a headless CMS structure:

The Short Answer:

While not natively designed for it, you can achieve a headless setup with Joomla by using its REST API. This lets you use Joomla as your content backend and expose that content to any frontend framework (like React, Vue, Angular, etc.) via API calls.

Key Steps:

1. Enable Joomla’s REST API: You’ll need to enable and configure the API for the desired content types.
2. Determine Content Structure: Carefully plan how your content will be structured within Joomla’s categories, articles, and custom fields to ensure it can be accessed and displayed effectively by your frontend.
3. Frontend Development: Build your frontend using your chosen framework (React, Vue, etc.). Use that framework’s tools to make API requests to your Joomla backend to fetch and display content.
4. Consider Third-Party
