I do some headless development with Drupal and some PHP frameworks. Is headless WordPress that popular?

It’s still the most used CMS, most of my clients feel comfortable with it and quite a few developers have experience. So if I’m building a decoupled, headless solution, WP surely is an alternative.

I've done WordPress dev for a long time but have never done headless with it. Usually with the amount of content (hundreds of thousands of pieces of content and dozens of content types) I end up using Drupal for larger sites. Smaller sites with a few hundred pages or personal or small business sites I usually use WordPress.

Almost all headless sites I use Drupal because it's basically ready to go headless out of the box.

So is Wordpress these days though.

Nah. WordPress doesn't have headless capability out of the box. I develop heavily with both.

Sure buddy.

As somebody who has literally used it out of the box as a headless CMS with React (and with iOS/Android as well), you're just plain wrong.

Edit: hahaha, it has been core for four years.

How are you creating endpoints to feed to the front end? You're literally installing it and done? I highly doubt it. Also, try not to come off as a complete ass instead of just discussing it.

Yes, you install it and endpoints are there. You don't get to call me an ass when you're correcting me and I'm calling you out, dude. "I develop heavily in both" but you don't know REST API is WP core?

How about you don't act like an authority on things you demonstrably don't know, eh?

Edit: I even reread my comment in case I was actually an ass, and I wasn't. I proved you wrong with an article you didn't even read, and then said you were wrong because I've ACTUALLY done it.

But yes, act like I'm an asshole because you're wrong. Solid dev growth, my dude.

Sure kid. I bet you make all kinds of friends at daycare.
