[Strapi](http://strapi.io/) is an open-source [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) rich framework for building applications and services.

[Strapi](http://strapi.io/) enables developers to focus on writing reusable application logic instead of spending time building infrastructure. It is designed for building practical, production-ready Node.js applications in a matter of hours instead of weeks.

- **Useful CLI** that let you scaffold projects, APIs and migrations on the fly.

- **Easy authentication** with 150+ supported providers to easily manage your authentication processes.
- **Security layers** that just work and ships reusable security policies.
- **GraphQL implementation** for describing data requirements and interactions.
- **JSON API specification** to increase productivity by following shared conventions.
- **Smooth WebSockets** to handle realtime connections and events.
- **Flexible SQL dialect** with schema building for migrations, query building, transactions, and a lot more.
