What is Irving Core?

Irving Core is a ReactJS based, isomorphically rendered, headless CMS frontend application. Irving allows quick and easy development of headless/decoupled websites.

In order to support development and production, there are a number of Irving packages, concepts, and libraries that work together to create a powerful ecosystem of development tools.

In practice, Irving takes a JSON string of components and hydrates React components. The frontend application makes a request to the API passing along the route details, which keeps the business logic in the backend/CMS layer. This allows for lightweight rendering and output, but without sacrificing any SPA functionality or power behind React.

Why not Next.js or Gatsby?
