Core Features

From schema definition to content delivery — everything built in from day one.

Dynamic Content Schemas

Define and modify content types from the dashboard — Text, RichText, Number, Boolean, Date, Image, and Reference fields. No code changes or migrations required.

Content Versioning

Every edit creates a new version. Compare changes with visual diffs, roll back to any previous version, and maintain a complete audit trail.

Scheduled Publishing

Set content to publish at a future date with timezone support. Manage a content pipeline with draft, review, scheduled, and published statuses.

Media Library

Upload images and files with drag-and-drop. Organize with folders, automatic WebP conversion, resizing, and inline references from the content editor.

Role-Based Access Control

Three built-in roles — Admin, Editor, and Viewer — with granular permissions per schema. Control who can create, edit, publish, or only read content.

AI Content Generation

Generate drafts, summaries, translations, and field suggestions powered by Claude (Anthropic) — directly from the content editor.

REST API with 30+ Endpoints

Consume content from any frontend — Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Astro, React Native, or plain HTTP. Structured JSON responses with full pagination.

Webhooks & API Keys

HMAC-SHA256 signed webhooks for content lifecycle events. Scoped API keys with per-key permissions and automatic rotation support.

Enterprise Security

AES-256-GCM field encryption, Argon2id password hashing, JWT + refresh tokens, rate limiting, CORS, CSP/HSTS headers, and HTML sanitization.

Developer Experience

Simple API, powerful results

Fetch your content with a single REST call. Structured JSON responses, dynamic field types, and pagination built in.

// Fetch content entries from a schema
const response = await fetch("https://your-instance.com/content/blog-posts", {
  headers: {
    "Authorization": "Bearer your_access_token",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
  }
});

const { data, total, page } = await response.json();
// 12,600+ req/s — ~8ms avg latency
Developer Experience

Built for developers, by developers

30+ REST endpoints, clear schema documentation, and a straightforward content API. Integrate CMSX into any frontend in minutes, not days.
