About

ApostropheCMS is an open-source full-stack content management system built with Node.js and MongoDB that can be used both as a traditional and headless CMS.

It offers in-context editing, reusable "piece types" for structured content, REST APIs, custom schema field types, localization support, and modular extensions to extend functionality.

Directus is an open-source headless CMS and data platform that lets developers build APIs from custom SQL data models while providing non-technical users with a friendly admin interface to manage structured content.

It automatically generates REST and GraphQL endpoints from the database schema, supports multiple SQL databases, and offers role-based access control, field-level permissions, versioning, workflows, asset management, real-time previews, and custom dashboards.
