Overview
- Organizing, searching and finding important content in the volume of documents which are published by the Commission is a daunting task. The Content API module makes our content accessible to any application or platform, while leveraging Drupal’s strengths as a content management system (CMS). Encouraging the ability to easily publish content to multiple applications and devices promotes transparency and accessibility.
