Introducing Drupal (for developers)

Out of the box, Drupal traditionally has all the standard functions of a web-based content management system:

• Visitors can view published information on the site, navigate through menus, view listings, and inpidual pages, and so on.
• Users can create accounts and leave comments.
• Administrators can manage the site configuration and control the permissions of users.
• Editors can create, preview, and then publish content when it is ready.
• Content can be syndicated to RSS, where feed readers can pick up new articles as they are published.
• With several built-in themes, even the look and feel of the site can be easily changed.

However, Drupal 8 improved on these and introduced some more powerful capabilities. For example, advanced multilingual support, content moderation, layout building, REST API, and many other features are now available out of the box. And yes, I did mean Drupal 8 because all this started with that version and is continuing with the current Drupal 9.
