Comparing Headful and Headless
This guide focuses on the full headless implementation model of AEM. However, headful versus headless does not need to be a binary choice in AEM. Headless features can be used to manage and deliver content to multiple touch-points, while also enabling content authors to edit single page applications. All in AEM.
See the document Headful and Headless in AEM for more information.
