What problems does Structured Content solve?

Customizable structured content CMS

Easily embed 100% custom blocks

Galleries, call-to-actions, polls, third-party embeds and widgets for YouTube, Twitter... these things have always been a problem to handle. Not with DatoCMS structured content: blocks are completely custom, can be moved around, edited and composed in any way you want , and creating them is a matter of seconds.

Linking structured content

Hyper-link and reference entities, not just URLs

When you need to deliver content not only through the web, but on an ever-growing number of different mediums ranging from native apps, voice assistants, e-books, IoT, etc... that's when being able to only create hyperlinks to fixed web addresses starts to get to you. What you need is clear separation between content and presentation.

A portable JSON format, ready for omnichannel

  "schema": "dast",
  "document": {
    "type": "root",

        "type": "heading",
        "level": 1,
        "children": [

Omnichannel CMS

Highly structured and deeply typed

The Structured Text field saves content in a JSON format called dast to ensure control of the information and the ability to unambiguously parse and serialize the content to any medium, with clear separation from presentation concerns.
