How content is structured in Kontent.ai
A content item is any piece of content in your project. It is made up of elements, such as texts, images, files, etc.Each content item is based on a single content type. A content type is a template that defines the structure of the content item – which elements it contains, their names, limitations, guidelines, and so on. Mix and match the available elements to define your own content types.
Summarized
Kontent.ai makes no assumptions about how your content is displayed. It simply delivers your content via Delivery API to any application that asks for it – be it a website, mobile app, chatbot, electronic billboard, virtual voice assistant, or an internet-enabled toaster.We deliver the content. You do whatever you want with it – using the technology of your choice.A traditional CMS would force you to put your content into neatly arranged boxes to fit inside a pre-defined template. The power of Kontent.ai comes from not getting in your way. Content structure and content presentation are truly separated, and you have the flexibility to define both according to the needs of your project.
