help dotCMS FAQ

Is dotCMS a headless-only CMS?

No. dotCMS supports headless delivery through APIs while also offering visual editing and page management for teams that want a conventional website. This hybrid approach lets one platform serve both marketers and application developers.

Which APIs can developers use with dotCMS?

dotCMS documents both REST and GraphQL APIs, along with SDKs and integration guides. Its Java foundation also makes it familiar to teams working with Java and Spring. [dotCMS](https://www.dotcms.com/)

Can dotCMS power a Next.js website?

Yes. A Next.js front end can request structured content from dotCMS through REST or GraphQL, while dotCMS handles content types, workflows, permissions, and multi-site management.

Is dotCMS free for a commercial production website?

Do not assume that it is. The current dotCMS site says its Business Source License is free for non-production use, so a commercial deployment should be checked against the exact license and enterprise terms. [dotCMS](https://www.dotcms.com/)
