# The RESTful Module

#  The RESTful Module 

  

*Podcast episode player*

In this episode [Kyle Hofmeyer](https://drupalize.me/about) talks with the maintainers of the [RESTful](https://www.drupal.org/project/restful) module, [Mateu Aguiló Bosch](https://www.lullabot.com/about/mateu-aguilo-bosch) and [Amitai Burstein](https://www.gizra.com/). They discuss decoupling, headless Drupal, and how the RESTful module they maintain may be the right solution for you when it comes to using Drupal as a backend CMS while maintaining a completely separate front end. What theming problems does decoupling solve? How does the RESTful module compare to the Drupal 8 core REST module? Why use [GitHub](https://github.com/) to host this module? These questions answered and more insightful developer chat in this week's podcast.
