+Headless
+---
+Headless is an API to deliver nodes and lists of nodes as JSON data.
+
+This allows you to publish content to you Backdrop site and send it out to other applications.  For example you could have an
+Apache Cordovo app that polls for the latest news posts on your site and renders them as a native iOS or Android app to users'
+mobile phones.
+
+* Exposes individual nodes as JSON data to be consumed by another application.
+  * Once the `headless` module is installed visiting a URL using this form: http://mysite.com/api/page/16 will expose that node as a JSON object.
+    * You can replace `page` with any content type on your site
+    * You replace `16` with the node id (`nid`) of the content that you want to recieve as JSON data. 
+* Expose lists of nodes as JSON data.
+  * Visit a URL using this form:  http://mysite.com/api/list/post
