## Introduction

For front-end developers, integrating with Bloomreach Content involves the following aspects:

  • Enabling the SPA to consume content and configuration stored in and managed through Bloomreach Content, in order to deliver them to the end-user in a site or app UI.

  • Integrating the page preview and editing capabilities of the [Experience manager](🔗) app in the SPA such that [Site Editors](🔗) can control the content and structure of the page(s) driven by the SPA without a need for a front-end developer to deploy a new version of the SPA.

The [Delivery API](🔗) and [SPA SDK](🔗) are the tools provided to make both aspects as easy as possible.

## API

The [Delivery API](🔗) provides REST endpoints for front-end applications to retrieve JSON representations of:

  • A list of available channels

  • Pages in a channel, including all the components, content items, and menus of which those pages are comprised

  • A specific document in the context of a channel

## SDK

Bloomreach provides an [SPA SDK](🔗) for integrating SPAs and other Javascript front-end applications with Bloomreach Content's [Delivery API](🔗) and the preview and editing capabilities o [Experience manager](🔗) application.

The SDK is the preferred and the only supported way to integrate the Bloomreach Content platform with any application. Using the SDK ensures:

  • Security and bug fixes

  • Support when encountering problems

  • Support for new features as they added to Bloomreach Content

  • Out-of-the-box for the preview and editing capabilities of the [Experience manager](🔗) app

The SDK supports any Javascript application and provides a framework-independent SPA SDK package as well as framework-specific packages for Angular, React, and Vue.



Bloomreach strongly discourages custom front-end integrations that forgo using the SPA SDK. While possible, this approach is not supported by Bloomreach and is not guaranteed to work with future changes to the Content platform.
