Puck
Puck is a visual page editor and layout tool for React. It functions as a CMS page builder and component orchestrator, allowing for the design and arrangement of structured content pages through a drag-and-drop interface.
The system utilizes a pluggable component registry to integrate external React components into the visual canvas. It employs schema-driven mapping and JSON-based serialization to store and persist page structures as portable data objects.
The platform covers the domain of no-code page building and CMS content management, providing a visual reconciliation system to synchronize the editor state with the underlying data model.
