Svelte Headless CMS with GraphQL

What is SvelteAnchor

Svelte is a JavaScript framework for building UI components that is different from others like React and Vue in that Svelte is a compiler. This means that it ships imperative code to the browser rather than a JavaScript runtime.

Benefits of SvelteAnchor

Highly performant code in a small package. It empowers developers to solve problems with less code.

GraphQL and SvelteAnchor

SvelteKit allows the use of GraphQL for both client-side and server-side. Meaning any sensitive credentials can be handled on a server route.

Why use a Headless CMS for SvelteAnchor

Svelte is well suited to consuming external APIs (both client and server-side) and using a headless CMS to build your project gives the flexibility to separate the content.
