About faustjs

Faust.js is a headless WordPress toolkit built specifically for use with the Next.js framework, designed to help developers create decoupled web experiences that pair a WordPress content management backend with a modern Next.js frontend.

The toolkit supports core WordPress functionality including user authentication, content previews for editorial teams, WordPress template hierarchy matching, and full integration with the WordPress block editor. It is suited for web developers and content teams that want to leverage WordPress’s familiar content management capabilities while taking advantage of Next.js’s performance, flexibility, and modern frontend features.
