Our experience so far...
• Not perfect, but pretty good out of the box• Quickly and easily export to multiple file types• Language agnostic• .json structuring & validation can be fiddly• Nesting is difficult• Repeating elements are problematic• No more re-inventing the wheel
Plans for the future...
• Not the solution to every project• Still use custom data entry where appropriate• Large-scale, complex projects• True multi-format publishing (web, app &
print)• Experiment with the API
Thanks for listening :-)
