Skemik

Skemik is a headless backend for small companies and organisations whose data model is already there: 30 curated schema.org types, the same in every install, their fields named and typed before you start. No empty tool to design first, no column called Date2.

Editors work in the admin; everything else works at one address, the feed.

• Read with no key: every collection and record answers as schema.org JSON-LD, or as Markdown, CSV or HTML, filtered, sorted and searched by query string.

• Write with a key: a program posts JSON-LD with a scoped key, and the record lands as a draft the house publishes.

• Any generator: a site built with Astro, Eleventy, Hugo, Next.js or plain PHP reads the same address. Skemik ships no frontend on purpose.

• Runs on a webspace: PHP and SQLite, no build step, no Composer, no daemon. Daily snapshots and automatic, signed updates are built in.

Source available under the Business Source License 1.1, which turns into AGPLv3 on each release's Change Date. Running it for clients is free.
