Grav

Grav is a Fast, Simple, and Flexible, file-based Web-platform. There is Zero installation required. Just extract the ZIP archive, and you are already up and running. It follows similar principals to other flat-file CMS platforms, but has a different design philosophy than most.

The underlying architecture of Grav has been designed to use well-established and best-in-class technologies, where applicable, to ensure that Grav is simple to use and easy to extend. Some of these key technologies include:

• Twig Templating: for powerful control of the user interface
• Markdown: for easy content creation
• YAML: for simple configuration
• Doctrine Cache: layer for incredible performance
