This is an excellent excellent 101 session... I have been wanting to go headless with Wordpress for the last 6 months, and leverage the power of wordpress as a CMS but in a headless way, but could not find a decent information session which discusses it in detail. Thank you WPEngine!
I've just heard about headless Wordpress and I really want to start using it, so thanks a lot for this session, it's been very informative. Now, what I haven't been able to find at the moment is any specifics on using HW with a frontend developed just with HTML+CSS+JS (no frameworks). Is this not recommended or somewhat not "valid"? Because I can't see any problem with retrieving the data from Wordpress and drawing the pages without the need of using bloated frameworks. Am I missing something on this subject?
Very cool, thanks for the kind words! You might not find too many examples like that just because not that many people are building that way at the moment. And if they are really trying to build something outside of a framework, they are using a static site generator of some kind to produce the HTML and CSS. I'd recommend checking out Astro if that's what you want, it's kind of an HTML/CSS framework focused on being lean, and then you can layer in client-side JS if you want: docs.astro.build/en/guides/cms/wordpress/
