PluXml

A lightweight PHP/XML flat-file CMS that stores content in XML files instead of a database.

About PluXml

PluXml is a content management system that skips the database entirely. It stores everything in XML files, which makes it simple to set up and move between servers. The admin interface is straightforward and handles articles, static pages, categories, and user management without needing MySQL or PostgreSQL.

The system supports themes and plugins, so you can extend its basic functionality. It runs on any PHP-enabled web server with no additional requirements. The XML storage approach means backups are just file copies, and there is no database setup step during installation. It includes a built-in media manager and WYSIWYG editor.

This is a good option for small sites or personal blogs where database overhead is not needed. It is open source under the GPL license and developed by a small community. The project has been around since the early 2000s and remains actively maintained.
