Content on the wisp platform is served via the Content API. It delivers published content to the world and can be accessed in a read-only manner by any client to render in a website, app or other embedded media.

Any frontend app can leverage on the Content API to serve content from wisp onto their interface. We also additionally provide a Javascript client to easily fetch content from popular JS frameworks like Next.js, Vite, Svelte, etc.

Your Frontend App

wisp is a full headless CMS which is completely agnostic of any particular front end or static site framework.

It's compatible with just about any front-end you can throw at it - it doesn’t even have to be a website!
