[TYPO3-dev] Headless TYPO3 CMS (e.g. RESTful API)

[Anja Leichsenring]

Hello Michael,

thank you for bringing up this question. Your suggestion was heard, and 
we will discuss the topic among the Active Contributors during our 
Meeting preceeding the Developer Days.

Please stay tuned until then, we will let you know what we will do.

Kind regards
Anja
