ProcessWire
An open source CMS with a powerful API.
ProcessWire is a free, open source PHP content management system and framework (CMF) for building and managing websites. It organizes content in a hierarchical page tree with no imposed depth limit, and every field is a custom field defined and edited in the admin, including repeatable groups called Repeater fields. Templates are driven by an API that lets developers access, output, and manipulate content directly in code, while editors work through a straightforward admin interface or front-end editing.
Core capabilities include multi-language support with built-in multi-language fields and URLs, role-based access control, a hooks system, and a modular architecture in which most functionality comes from plugin modules. The module ecosystem includes tools such as Tracy Debugger, ProCache, PAGEGRID page builder, and FormBuilder. ProcessWire is free and open source, with no stated paid editions, trials, or seat-based or usage-based packaging.
