Headless Getting Started Guide introduction

Last update: Thu Dec 07 2023 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

The Headless Getting Started Guides lay out a simple path for creating, managing, and delivering experiences using Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) 6.5 in five steps for users who are already familiar with AEM and headless technology. Each guide builds on the previous, so it is recommended to explore them thoroughly and in order.

  1. Creating a Configuration
  2. Creating a Content Fragment Model
  3. Creating an Assets Folder
  4. Creating a Content Fragment
  5. Accessing and Delivering Content Fragments
TIP
This getting started guide assumes knowledge of both AEM and headless technologies.
If you are new to either AEM or headless, see the Headless Documentation Journeys for an end-to-end introduction to both headless and how AEM supports it.

Audience audience

The tasks described in the Headless Getting Started Guides are necessary for a basic end-to-end demonstration of AEM’s headless capabilities. Anyone with administrator access to a test AEM instance can follow these guides to understand headless delivery in AEM, though someone with developer experience is ideal.

However, in a production situation, the tasks are typically performed by different personas a varying number of times. For example:

  • Administrators must set up the initial configuration and folder structure for the content normally only once or sporadically.
  • Information architects add new models as the needs of the organization evolve.
  • Content authors continually create content as Content Fragments based on the models defined by the architects.

The Headless Getting Started Guides point out who would generally perform the tasks described and how frequently.
