Plasmic

Plasmic is a visual builder and headless CMS for front-end development. Designers and developers compose pages and components in Plasmic Studio, then ship them via either the Headless API (Loader) for runtime fetching or the Codegen pipeline for generated React/Next.js/Gatsby source. The platform also exposes a CMS for structured content, a CLI for code synchronization, and a REST API for programmatic access. Open source components live under the plasmicapp GitHub organization.

Plasmic publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: Items API and Rows API. Tagged areas include Visual Builder, Headless CMS, React, Next.js, and Gatsby.

Plasmic’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, GitHub presence, engineering blog, and 7 more developer resources.
