Introduction• When the term, CMS comes to our mind, most of us will be tempted to

utter the common terms like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal and Magento so on. All these belong to the PHP category of CMS.

• If a curious person inquires us about some popular CMS that are powered using Node.js, many of us, even developers may fail to answer.

• Like PHP, Node.js is getting established as a powerful back-end language, hence it has been used for creating some useful CMS structures as well.

• Many of the CMS powered using PHP are fully developed, and some of the Node.js CMS still remain as a stopped project in “Github”. Here we can look into the features of some of the most popular Node.js CMS.

Ghost

• Ghost earns the fame of most popular Node.js CMS.

• It is made accessible in two versions; one for the users and the

other for developers.

• Ghost is open source and is marked as a valuable blogging platform.

• It provides developers with some brilliant marketplace themes for

running a favorable kickstarter campaign.

Keystone.JS

• An open source CMS built for developing database- driven websites so rapidly.

• Before installing Keystone.js, developers will have to link the project with

MongoDB and Express.

• Developers can work on this platform by including and configuring one data

model.

• Admin interfaces will be automatically generated, and the system will work

very fast. The documentation of Keystone.JS is simple.

Calipso

• The idea of building Calipso is quite similar to the WordPress.

• Plugins of WordPress are so strong, and we cannot expect the same

from Calipso modules.

• It is simple and fast, but lacks activity and community support.

• Hence, most of the developers skip the usage of this project.

Reaction Commerce

• Reaction Commerce is a Node.js project dedicated to the e

commerce industry.

• It makes use of CoffeScript, Meteor, and MongoDB.

• The script is designed for the purpose of “real-time merchandising”.

AngularJS as well.

MongoDB.

Conclusion
