Introduction
Why Choose Django-headless-cms?
Why choose Django-headless-cms over alternatives like Wagtail, Django-CMS, Strapi, or Contentful?

Headless CMS with minimal configuration: Unlike Wagtail and Django-CMS, which are primarily headed CMS solutions.
Responsive UI: Preferred over Strapi for its user interface.
Python & Django-based: Built on a robust framework with numerous extensions.
Open Source: Unlike Contentful and other paid services, it allows you to self-host your CMS.
Integration: Easily integrates with many existing Python and Django libraries.
Centralized multi-language support: Reduces redundancy and allows different content across multiple languages.

Features

Schema Migrations: Manage content schema as database migrations, making it easier to sync from development to
production environments.
Versioning Content: Revert to any previously saved version.
Publish/Draft Content: Manage published and draft content.
Markdown Editor Support: Enhanced content editing experience, useful for Posts/Articles.
Multi-language Support: Even for Markdown fields.
Auto Translate/Force Re-translate: Use ChatGPT or build your own translation interface.
Recursive Actions: Apply actions like Publish, Translate, and Force Re-translate to referenced objects.
Optimized Queries: Auto prefetch and select related queries for optimization.
Filter Published Objects: Easily filter to show only published content.
Auto Admin: Simplify admin page setup with features like:

Sortable inline Many-to-Many (M2M) relationships.
Sortable generic inlines.
Display publish status of child objects.


Auto Serializer: Simplify serializer creation, including nested relations. Override specific serializers as needed.
Rapid API Development: Build APIs (Views/Viewsets) quickly and easily with auto serializers and optimized queries.
Easy Data Import/Export: Use the admin interface or management commands.
Auto-generated API Documentation & Playground: Automatically generate API documentation and an interactive playground.

[Extra] My Story
After experimenting with various CMS frameworks, I couldn't find a suitable one for my needs:

Strapi: Node.js-based and synchronizing schema between development and production can be challenging.
Additionally, it lacks a responsive UI, making minor updates on mobile devices difficult.
Wagtail and Django-CMS: These are headed CMS solutions, great if you need a WYSIWYG CMS. However, they felt
overly complex for my use case and have a steep learning curve.
Contentful & other paid services: While these services are excellent, their costs can be prohibitive. Why pay
for additional slots when you can add them for free in Django?

After further research into Django-based (and Node.js-based) frameworks, I found none that met my expectations. Given
Django's popularity and extensive ecosystem of extensions, I decided to build Django-headless-cms. I also noticed that
some Reddit users faced similar issues, which motivated me to create this package.
If you appreciate this package, please give it a star. If you'd like to see more features, consider contributing. If
you encounter any issues, don't hesitate to open a GitHub issue (and help fix it if you're willing to contribute).
