17 - Content Entities and Fields

One of Drupal’s key features is the ability to collect structured data to assist developers in building a website that meets their client’s requirements. Structured data is a process of organizing data in a way that makes it easy to filter, search, and sort. It allows you to model the data to real-world needs, validate input (mandatory fields, formatting, limiting choices), control data display, and ease data migration.
