one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one, many-to-many. Deep population with automatic resolution at query time.
Flexible content blocks that editors can compose freely. Build pages from reusable components without developer intervention.
Role-based access control with field-level security. Admin, Editor, Authenticated, Public roles with conditional ownership rules.
Define schemas, create content, query data — all with simple JSON.
