Key Features

  • A native ASP.Net MVC content and data management system
  • A NuGet package which you add to MVC, not a site which you modify.  Does not interfere with any ASP.Net MVC functionality or use any extension points, so can be retrofitted to an existing project.
  • Designed to have a minimal, powerful editing UI and for configuration and processing to be done mainly in code.
  • Highly modular design with novel features allowing for the self-orchestration of extension modules.
  • Powerful content modelling: content defined as classes in code, with the editor able to deal with inheritance, subobjects and lists of subobjects.
  • Provider-based data system allowing for multiple different data sources and for versioning and other extended data functionalities to be applied across all data sources.
