Grav
A Modern, Crazy Fast, Ridiculously Easy and Amazingly Powerful Flat-File CMS.

Grav is an open-source, flat-file CMS that requires no database, storing content as Markdown and YAML files for fast performance and easy portability. It features a powerful admin plugin, a built-in package manager for one-click plugin and theme installs, and supports multi-language sites and dynamic image processing. Grav is designed for developers and content creators who want flexibility without the overhead of traditional database-driven CMSs.
Grav stores all content as flat files (Markdown and YAML), uses intelligent caching for performance, and provides a plugin-based architecture with a one-click package manager for extensions and themes.
