Drupal Decoupled Menus Survey

The goal of this survey is to learn how developers use headless CMS and how they work with menus. We assume that those responding have experience and thoughts on how the data of a headless menu ought to be structured.

This survey is part of the Decoupled Menus Initiative that was announced at DrupalCon Global 2020.
