API-First Architecture
In an API-first approach the back-end exposes every capability — content retrieval, search, commerce, and personalisation — as a versioned API contract before any front-end is built. This guarantees that web, mobile, kiosk, and IoT channels can all consume the same data without duplicating business logic.
Ibexa DXP follows this principle with its GraphQL schema and REST API: both are auto-generated from the content model so that any new content type is immediately queryable by front-end teams without back-end changes.
