Faust.js: Unleashing the Power of WordPress for Headless Websites

Faust.js, a JavaScript framework designed for headless WordPress, has officially come out of beta after its initial launch in September 2021. Developed by WP Engine, Faust.js offers new features and enhancements since its beta release. One such feature is the proposal to convert existing React components into Gutenberg blocks, allowing for easier integration between the two ecosystems. Additionally, Faust.js is exploring Next.js app router support, aiming to leverage React server components to fetch data from WordPress on the server. The project has also implemented an RFC (Request for Comments) process, inviting community feedback and contributions on proposed changes. Faust.js is gaining adoption, with WP Engine utilizing it for their Atlas platform, providing a fast and flexible headless WordPress solution.
