Strapi is a headless CMS that pairs well with React Native and Expo for building content-driven mobile apps. It auto-generates REST and GraphQL APIs from content types you define visually, eliminating the need to write backend code. Key features include a visual admin panel for non-developers, dynamic block-based page composition, flexible content modeling (Single Types, Collection Types, Components, Dynamic Zones), and a built-in media library. The recommended stack layers Expo for cross-platform UI, React Query for data fetching and caching, and Strapi for content management backed by SQLite or PostgreSQL. A full tutorial is referenced covering NativeWind styling, infinite scroll, tab navigation, and reusable block components.
