Another simple approach (if you only need to read public data) I used on one site is to simply return JSON from your templates. It was really straight-forward and was close to working with normal templates. You can then use the URLs / routing provided by Kirby as your custom API.

Some sample code:

```auto
<?php
$data = [
  'text' => $page->text()->kirbytext()->value(),
  'title' => $page->title()->value(),
  'uid' => $page->uid()
];

// set response content type to `application/json`
$kirby->response()->json();

echo json_encode($data);

```

Edit: This [Vue starterkit](https://github.com/johannschopplich/kirby-vue3-starterkit) mentioned by @texnixe in [this thread](https://forum.getkirby.com/t/kirby-3-headless-setup/20970) seems to use the same idea.
