What follows is my attempt to define an Entry Model class as described in the blog post https://deliverystack.wordpress.com/2020/07/20/net-core-headless-cms-entry-models-and-entry-model-classes/ to support the Content Type that I described in the blog post at https://deliverystack.wordpress.com/2020/07/21/entry-data-formats-in-headless-cms/ for the Kentico Kontent SaaS headless CMS.

We can use the .NET SDKs from the headless CMS vendors to retrieve data and evaluate the JSON formats uses to represent Entries in each system. While we should use strongly-typed Entry Model classes as described in the blog post https://deliverystack.wordpress.com/2020/07/20/net-core-headless-cms-entry-models-and-entry-model-classes/, we can evaluate the raw JSON to see how the systems represent data, whatContinue reading “-Entry Data Formats in Headless CMS”

You can use the following procedures in Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019 (https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/community/) to create .NET Core Console Apps with the SDKs for the Contentful, Contentstack, and Kentico Kontent headless Content Management Systems (CMS).

An object that represents an Entry is an Entry Model. A class used for Entry Models is an Entry Model class. You can implement an Entry Model class for each of your Content Types. You may choose to implement a class hierarchy for Entry Models based on any inheritance hierarchy apparent in your Content Types.Continue reading “-.NET Core Headless CMS Entry Models and Entry Model Classes”

You can use LINQPad (https://www.linqpad.net/) to access headless Content Management Systems with C# code. LINQPad provides convenient visualizers for JSON and images. You can use LINQPad for scripting, and both visualized and raw access the JSON can be useful when implementing Entry Model classes (see https://deliverystack.wordpress.com/2020/07/20/net-core-headless-cms-entry-models-and-entry-model-classes/), diagnosing issues, and otherwise.

I intend to use this blog post to maintain a list of links to blogs and blog posts about headless CMS, especially headless CMS with .NET Core. Below is what I have run across up to now. Update 14.Dec.2025: After years of frustration with WordPress, I am finally abandoning this blog. The content will likelyContinue reading “-Resources about Headless CMS [and Commerce] [and Microservice Architectures] [with .NET Core]”

I am still in the experimental stage of my evaluation of both (SaaS) headless CMS and headless CMS with .NET Core. I think that Headless CMS should have minimal impact on .NET Core content delivery implementations. I also think that we’re doing all headless Content Management implementations wrong from an architectural perspective. I intend toContinue reading “-How Does .NET Core Work with Headless CMS?”

With SaaS headless CMS, the vendor provides a hosted environment for content management. According to the metaphor, this content management environment is the body. Using webhooks to signal events, a headless CMS provides RESTful APIs and typically a browser-based UI with which to manage Content Types and Entries (sometimes called Items). Each Content Type isContinue reading “-What Is SaaS Headless CMS?”
