Reviewer scorecard
“Point it at any SQL database and get an instant API + admin UI. The most flexible headless CMS approach.”
“React-based, versioning, and i18n built in. The most flexible open-source documentation framework.”
“Works with your existing database instead of forcing its own schema. Unique value proposition in the CMS space.”
“Free, open source, and battle-tested by thousands of projects. The default choice for OSS documentation.”
“Database-first CMS makes more sense than CMS-first databases. Directus got the architecture right.”
“Functional but not beautiful by default. Mintlify produces better-looking docs with less effort.”
