What Strapi does
Strapi is a headless content management system that exposes REST and GraphQL APIs instead of rendering pages itself. Developers use it to manage content for a separate frontend built in React, Vue, or a mobile app. It includes a content-type builder, role-based permissions, and media handling out of the box.
