Whatever traditional, decoupled or headless CMS used, it's to manage content. Managing content at scale is difficult. It induces that you design a scalable content structure and you have the tool to make it scalable.

Strapi is built for that mission.

Like the atomic and molecular principles that you can find in the design and development fields, managing content requires the same principles.

Atom

In content management, the atom is the smallest element, we call it the field. There are many kind of fields, and each field has its own specificity.

• Text
• Number
• Boolean
• Media

On top of these fields, there are other fields with validations rules which make them more complex such as:

• Email (text with email validation)
• Password (text with cryptographic script)
