Java CMS
Open Source Fit for The Enterprise
dotCMS offers a modern API-first content management solution built on the Java enterprise stack, making even the most complex integrations surprisingly painless.
Powered by Java
Built on leading Java technology, dotCMS adheres to Java standards such as OSGI and APIs driven by JAX-RS, with Elasticsearch built in, facilitating a flexible, open source headless CMS.
Structured Content
Content types are defined and structured in dotCMS to ensure complete separation from the presentation layer. Role-based permissions can be applied across content types, sites or even down the content object level.
API-First CMS
dotCMS comes bundled with hundreds of pre-built endpoints. Developers can build and hot deploy custom endpoints with OSGI or script custom API using Apache Velocity, Java plugins or server-side code to support omnichannel strategies.
Global Scalability
To simplify growth, dotCMS was designed from the ground up to support clustering and horizontal scalability, thus enabling dotCMS to store and deliver content at scale, easily handling millions of content objects.
Easily Customizable and Extendable
dotCMS empowers developers with full extensibility, offering a transparent and open codebase, REST and Java- based APIs, Javadocs, OSGI, and custom Java plugins, pluggable authentication, and more.
Key Features
OSGi & Dynamic Plugins
The framework allows applications or components to be remotely installed, started, stopped, updated and uninstalled without requiring a reboot.
Elasticsearch
Leverage this full-text search engine to help query content in multiple ways, including through Velocity Viewtool, a Java API, a RESTful service, or an Elasticsearch portlet.
Chainable, Extensible Caching Layer
Supports per node caches or distributed caching solutions such as HazelCast, Apache Ignite or Redis for extreme scalability.
API-First
Enjoy full control over your content, assets, layouts, and workflows with REST APIs or GraphQL.
Containerization
Containers provide an environment for microservices to be deployed, managed, and scaled independently in a streamlined fashion.
Open Source
The dotCMS codebase is available on GitHub, where our team communicates new features and manages the transparent software development process.
