Web development
The brand new version 14 of Umbraco is characterized by many major adjustments “under the hood”. Changes that you as a user hardly see, but are noticeable. This version also offers many improvements for us - developers.
Umbraco runs on the latest and greatest version of .NET with all the stability and performance that comes with it. But the main focus for this release is on the back office (the user interface and content processing) and the API layer that makes it all possible.
Managing content requires fast communication between the back office (the CMS) and the backend (database and services). With the new Management API, this communication is drastically improved. This not only covers Umbraco's internal architecture, but also simplifies integration with external systems and custom web applications and sites.
Not to get too technical: whether you are looking for a headless CMS, microservice, custom web application or website: the possibilities are endless!
Umbraco already offered significant headless capabilities, but the introduction of the Management API completes the picture by adding a true CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) API that is not only used for the back office but is also available to edit content. manage with external services and applications. All options offered by the back office are now available in a secure and standardized manner.
The backoffice (your work area) has been completely renovated! No worries: working in the back office will be a familiar experience, but only better, faster and more stable. This provides a fresh and modern feeling, while retaining the user-friendliness you expect from Umbraco.
One of Umbraco's strengths is the extensibility of its user interface to provide a customized and fully integrated experience. With the addition of new APIs, the back office has been made completely extension-first. Developers now have all the tools to create custom extensions, packages and integrations for the back office. This extension-first approach benefits everyone who works with the back office. It also helps improve consistency and maintainability.
