It is consumed by two packages on top: - **[blackcube/dboard](https://github.com/blackcubeio/dboard)** — admin backoffice (content editing, CRUD) - **[blackcube/ssr](https://github.com/blackcubeio/ssr)** — public front (routing, SEO, handlers) You do not consume dcore directly. Pick dboard for admin, ssr for front, or both. Where dcore sits ---------------- [](#where-dcore-sits) ``` ┌────────────────────────┐ ┌────────────────────────┐ │ dboard │ │ ssr │ │ admin backoffice │ │ public front │ │ (editing, CRUD) │ │ (routing, SEO, handlers)│ └──────────┬─────────────┘ └───────────┬────────────┘ │ │ └──────────────┬───────────────┘ ↓ ┌──────────┐ │ dcore │ ← data layer └──────────┘ ↓ DB ``` Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - Relational DB with JSON support Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require blackcube/dcore ``` Getting started --------------- [](#getting-started) dcore is not used alone.

Why dcore? ---------- [](#why-dcore) ApproachProblemFull-stack CMSMonolith. You want a page? Take the whole engine.Headless CMS (SaaS)Vendor lock-in. Your data lives elsewhere.Raw DB access15 models, 8 pivots, tree management, JSON schema validation — from scratch?**dcore**None of the above**Trees without recursion.** Content, Tag and Menu are tree-structured via [Hazeltree](https://github.com/blackcubeio/hazeltree) — one query, no cache. **Dynamic properties without EAV.** JSON Schema validation, virtual columns, transparent queries via [Elastic](https://github.com/blackcubeio/elastic). **SEO is built in.** Per-URL metadata (Xeo), global config (GlobalXeo), sitemap.xml, robots.txt — not bolted on after. **Multilingual by design.** Translation groups link Contents across languages. Not an afterthought.
