The document discusses Liferay DXP and its capabilities for headless and decoupled architectures. It describes how Liferay DXP allows developers to build custom frontends by exposing APIs, enables omnichannel experiences by providing a single source of content, and facilitates data integration and platform administration through OpenAPI support. Specific scenarios covered include using Liferay DXP as the backend for custom applications, providing consistent experiences across channels, and automating integration with other systems. The document also provides an example of using Liferay DXP to manage digital signage content through APIs.
