Any kind of SQL database may be converted into an API with the help of the Directus Open Data Platform, which is part of the headless CMS.
Using its REST API or GraphQL, Directus, a NodeJS Headless CMS, connects your website or apps to a SQL database.
It is made up of a web app for managing content and an API that enables developers to link that data to a variety of clients, including websites, native applications, kiosks, IoT devices, and other projects that are data-driven.
The headless Content as a Service (CaaS) platform DatoCMS was built to operate with static websites, mobile apps, and any type of server-side application. It enables team members and non-technical users to manage their content operations.
DatoCMS is a user-friendly, safe, and potent platform that allows marketing, editorial, or development teams to quickly construct sophisticated backends and distribute any type of content.
