Contentful Batch Libs

This repository contains shared methods used within Contentful's import and export tools.

Even when these parts are fairly small and independent, they might not be easy to understand and use for your own projects right now.

Each module has more extensive documentation in the code regarding their own purpose.

About

Contentful provides a content infrastructure for digital teams to power content in websites, apps, and devices. Unlike a CMS, Contentful was built to integrate with the modern software stack. It offers a central hub for structured content, powerful management and delivery APIs, and a customizable web app that enable developers and content creators to ship digital products faster.
