A Community Effort

The need for a complete, RESTful API allowing the decoupling of the Plone UI from the back end evolved over several years. Work started in Plone 4 and was released in Plone 5. The parallel development of Volto, Plone's React front end, ensured that the REST API had all the features needed to build a complete CMS.

Joining the Modern Web

Modern websites need a content platform that's fast, agile and scalable so it can provide multiple customized digital experiences. Plone IO brings Plone into the modern world of interoperating web applications.

Try It!

If you launch a Docker image of Plone or deploy it to Heroku , the REST API will be available for you to play with. Complete documentation is available.
