description	USE FOR: Building modular content-managed web applications with Orchard Core. Use when you need a multi-tenant CMS with content types, custom modules, workflows, themes, and a decoupled or headless content API on ASP.NET Core. DO NOT USE FOR: Static sites without dynamic content management (use a static site generator), single-page applications that consume third-party headless CMS APIs (use Contentful or Strapi clients), or applications that do not need content authoring workflows (use ASP.NET Core directly).

Orchard CMS

Overview

Orchard Core is an open-source, modular, multi-tenant content management system and application framework built on ASP.NET Core. It uses a content type system where content is composed from reusable parts (TitlePart, MarkdownBodyPart, AutoroutePart) and fields (TextField, NumericField, MediaField). Orchard Core supports themes for presentation, workflows for automation, GraphQL and REST APIs for headless scenarios, localization, and media management. The module system allows extending Orchard with custom features that participate in dependency injection, migrations, and the request pipeline. Orchard Core runs on .NET 8+ and uses YesSql (a document-based abstraction over relational databases) for storage.
