help Piranha CMS FAQ
What technology is Piranha CMS built with?
Piranha CMS is a lightweight open-source CMS built for ASP.NET Core, not a Ghost-based system. It can be embedded into .NET applications and used for pages, posts, and structured content.
Can Piranha CMS run as a headless CMS?
Yes, Piranha CMS can expose content separately from the presentation layer through APIs. Developers can therefore use it with a custom front end instead of relying only on server-rendered pages.
Is Piranha CMS suitable for a small blog?
It can be used for small websites and blogs where a lightweight .NET CMS is a good fit. The main practical requirement is a team or host comfortable with ASP.NET Core rather than PHP or Node.js.
How is Piranha CMS different from Ghost?
Ghost is a Node.js publishing platform with a strong newsletter and membership focus, while Piranha CMS is an ASP.NET Core content framework. Piranha is often the more natural choice when the surrounding application already uses Microsoft .NET.
