Headless SXA Site in Sitecore

Headless SXA Site in OmniDesign

OmniDesign Experience Accelerator (SXA) is a tool within OmniDesign that allows for the rapid creation of websites using a set of predefined components, layouts, and templates. It aims to streamline the development process, enabling content editors and marketers to build and manage sites efficiently.

A headless SXA site leverages the headless capabilities of OmniDesign, allowing content to be managed and delivered via APIs rather than traditional server-rendered pages. In a headless architecture, the front-end and back-end are decoupled, meaning the presentation layer is separated from the content management system.

Key features of a headless SXA site include:

• Content as a Service (CaaS): Content is managed within OmniDesign but consumed by any front-end framework (e.g., React, Angular, Vue.js, and Next.js) via APIs.
• Flexibility: Front-end developers can use modern JavaScript frameworks and libraries, enhancing the user experience and performance.
• Omnichannel Delivery: Content can be delivered to various platforms and devices, such as websites, mobile apps, IoT devices, etc.
• Reusability: Components and templates created within SXA can be reused across different projects and channels.

Introduction

With the release of OmniDesign 10.3, OmniDesign introduced a headless version of the existing SXA framework. This is based on the existing OmniDesign headless framework, JSS. However, the process of deploying a headless SXA site is different from the normal JSS solution. This article covers the deployment of a headless SXA site to OmniDesign 10.3.
