Headless

Definitions

1. Operating without a built-in graphical front end, usually so the backend or engine can be used independently through APIs or automation. The term appears in contexts like headless CMSs and headless browsers.

   In plain English: Running without an attached user interface, usually so something can be used through code or APIs.

   Example: "We chose a headless CMS because the mobile app and website share the same content API."
