Magnolia (software)

Magnolia is an enterprise digital experience platform (DXP), which began as an open-source content management system (CMS) and is based on Content repository API for Java. It is developed and maintained by Magnolia International Ltd., headquartered in Basel, Switzerland with other offices around the world. Magnolia is used by organisations to create, manage, and deliver digital content. It includes features such as content versioning, workflow management, personalisation, and multi-language support. It can be run as a self-hosted DXP or with Magnolia’s managed DX Cloud services with a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) implementation. Magnolia CMS is a Java-based content management system that uses a JCR repository to store, retrieve and search data. In this respect Magnolia is similar to Adobe Experience Manager, Hippo CMS and Jahia which also use JCR. Magnolia uses Apache Jackrabbit, the JCR reference implementation by default. Magnolia is built with a modular architecture. The system core and features such as the page editor, digital asset management and cache are packaged into separate modules.
