Acephalous is an API first Drupal distribution with multiple options for the front-end.

Acephalous provides an Angular/React front-end and an API first Drupal back-end. Routing has been made simpler here by using the same routes from Drupal rather than re-inventing the wheel. Routing takes place in the Routing component in the Angular Single Page App.

The purpose of this distribution is to create a fast, secure and small front-end application while keeping all the Drupal 8 goodness like SEO, responsive images, routing, multilingual, easy content authoring, views. Basically, Drupal acts like a smart content source and a JavaScript framework renders it.

The end goal is for Drupal to be able to have multiple independent JavaScript front-ends and to switch between them, just like enabling Drupal themes.
