These frameworks are an intermediate step between traditional server-side-rendered applications and JavaScript front ends, enabling most of the benefits of JavaScript front ends within the traditional server-side rendering approach. + +Additionally, providing an API is also useful beyond JavaScript front ends. +APIs are necessary for other purposes, such as implementing mobile apps to interact with your application, or just providing an API for programmatic access to your application.
