What is CMS
CMS is the abbreviation of Content Management System, which is called Content Management System in English. It is a kind of software that can manage the revision and release of content without writing code or very little code. Almost every language has its own implementation of CMS management system, such as J2CMS of JAVA NET EoyooCMS and PHP WordPress, of which WordPress has the highest market share. It can be said that most personal websites are built with WordPress now. It can be said that the development of personal blogs in turn has promoted the development of CMS.
Main functions of CMS
·The retrieval function can quickly and conveniently search and locate the content, and can search articles in multiple directions.
·The format function can facilitate the adjustment of text or picture format, and can edit and insert multi form media content.
·Revision function, which allows updating and editing the content after the initial release, and can also track changes to files.
·The template function allows the design and use of a variety of styles to display content, making the website diversified.
CMS function expansion
With the development of the times, people demand that CMS can do more. At the beginning, CMS only needed to handle the display of PC content, and later it needed to be compatible with mobile phones. Later, people hoped that CMS could provide interfaces for mobile apps. Now, with the development of the Internet of Things, people hope that CMS can also manage IoT devices. It can be said that CMS has gone far beyond its original scope of work. People are constantly expanding the functions of CMS. Although it is becoming more and more powerful, it is also becoming more and more bloated, more and more difficult to maintain, and more and more complex.
Headless CMS
Xiao Liu has always believed that the theory is the major event of the world. In the past, people gave CMS too many functions. It can control the display style through a rich text editor, which brings convenience to people as well as disaster. Because the text has its own style, we have to filter out the original style through the program when using the text for other devices. Sometimes, this may damage the content. Therefore, headless CMS appeared at this time. It is a CMS that focuses on content management. Instead of interfering with the content style, it focuses on content management and provides data for the front end in the form of interfaces. It supports GraphQL, making the interface data more accurate and more efficient. At this time, some people may say that this is not an interface. Why is it CMS? Because it still retains the core content of CMS, that is, content management. It can still organize content, still have its own background management content, and still provide people with convenient content integration functions.
The future of componentization
The current software development is more inclined to componentization, that is, the wheel factory. In the past, to develop a software, we need to understand all kinds of technologies, from the front end, to the back end, to the server. It can be said that one person can develop a software. Now many big factories have made wheels. We just need to take them and assemble them for use. The development of CMS may also be more component oriented, focusing more on content management, while the front-end content display is handed over to a more suitable wheel factory for processing and development.
