Content
Content is a file-based content management engine that transforms Markdown and JSON files into structured data for use within web applications. It functions as a static site content engine, parsing local file systems into queryable collections while providing a library for integrating interactive components directly into text documents.
The framework distinguishes itself by treating the local file hierarchy as the primary source of truth for application routing and navigation. It enables developers to embed dynamic UI elements directly into text files and provides a visual interface for editing content and metadata based on predefined schemas. This approach allows for the creation of rich, interactive documentation and content-driven sites where the structure of the repository dictates the site architecture.
Beyond core management, the system includes capabilities for full-text search indexing, automated code syntax highlighting, and content excerpt generation. It supports type-safe data retrieval through a fluent query interface, ensuring that content collections remain consistent and validated against defined schemas during both development and production.
