What is it?

Orchard Core is a modular, multi-tenant application framework for ASP.NET Core, and a web content management system built on top of that framework. The two parts are distributed as separate projects: the framework for building custom multi-tenant applications, and the CMS as a ready-to-use product.

The framework is organized around modules, so features such as content types, media, users, and workflows can be enabled or composed per application. Multi-tenancy lets a single installation host several isolated sites, each with its own configuration and data.

The project provides a reference of built-in modules and getting-started guides on its documentation site. It is licensed under BSD-3-Clause and is developed on the .NET platform, with a stable release line and a nightly preview feed on NuGet.
