With so many businesses still using a traditional CMS, headless development remains nascent. Yet, the need for omnichannel content delivery has increased tenfold. Content managers and developers seek to close the gap between writing and deploying beautiful content, wanting ease of use and flexibility.

Therefore, as more players enter the headless development space, it’s useful for you to know who’s who. WPEngine blog writer Abe Selig, with the help of research firm Vanson Bourne, has created a guide for the current state of headless. Naturally, it’s called The State Of Headless: A Global Research Report.
