CMS A Content Management System (CMS) is a software tool that provides functionalities to manage content like: create, edit, delete, and publish content. The main goal of CMS is to provide user interface for building and editing websites content.

A headless CMS gives the user (technical or non technical) enough flexibility to change the content without knowledge of the internal programming.
