WonderCMS

Flat-file CMS that stores its data in a JSON text file and needs only PHP and a web server.

WonderCMS is a content management system that keeps its data in a JSON text file instead of a database. It runs as PHP behind Apache, NGINX, IIS or Caddy, and the README lists several ways to install it: a zip download, git clone, a Docker image or a cPanel installer.

Because the data sits in files, a site can be moved to a new host by copying them. Pages are edited in place after logging in as admin.
