Model content the way your business actually works.

Gitana stores content as a graph of typed nodes and associations, defined with JSON Schema. Features inject shared properties and behaviors across types, and every write is validated against the compiled model before it is accepted.

store:bookType

{
  "_qname": "store:book",
  "_type": "d:type",
  "_parent": "n:node",
  "properties": {
    "title": { "type": "string" },
    "summary": { "type": "string" }
  },
  "mandatoryFeatures": {
    "store:licensed": {}
  }
}

A type defines the shape of a book. It inherits from n:node and requires every book to carry rights.

store:licensedFeature

{
  "_qname": "store:licensed",
  "_type": "d:feature",
  "properties": {
    "rights": {
      "license": { "type": "string" },
      "holder": { "type": "string" },
      "territories": { "type": "array" }
    }
  }
}

A feature adds shared fields and behavior to any type that needs them, or to a single node.

store:authored-byAssociation

{
  "_qname": "store:authored-by",
  "_type": "d:association",
  "_parent": "a:linked",
  "properties": {
    "role": {
      "type": "string",
      "enum": ["author", "editor"]
    }
  }
}

An association is a typed, directional link from a book to its author that carries its own properties.

Example definitions. Types, features and associations are JSON Schema documents, stored and versioned like the content they describe.

Validation: Every write is checked on the server and the client against the type plus every feature applied to it.
Rules & behaviors: Bind policies such as “before a node is updated” (p:beforeUpdateNode) to rules, scripts or web hooks.
Query & traversal: Full-text search, SQL-like query, graph traversal and GraphQL over the same content.

Read the content modeling guide

Every change is a changeset. Every team gets a branch.

Gitana versions content the way source control versions code. Editors work in isolated workspaces, compare and merge with visual differencing, and promote approved releases on a schedule — with a complete, restorable history of every edit.

Changesets with point-in-time comparison and restore
Branches and workspaces for parallel work without collisions
Merge with conflict detection and field-level resolution
Releases scheduled and promoted across editorial, staging and live

How branching works

Merge spring-catalog into master 1 conflict

/summary changed on both branches

master

Hamlet is a tragedy by Will Shakespeare, believed to have been written between 1599 and 1601.

spring-catalog

Hamlet is a drama by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written between 1599 and 1601.

Example merge, modeled on Gitana’s conflict resolution view. Choose a version to resolve it.

Rights, provenance and lifecycle travel with every node.

The metadata that makes content trustworthy is part of the content itself, so every application, site and AI agent that consumes it receives the same rights and history.

Can we use the Hamlet summary in our EU catalog?

Yes, for non-commercial use. The summary is licensed CC BY-NC 4.0 by Example Press for the US and EU.

Hamletstore:book

License: CC BY-NC 4.0
Territories: US, EU
Changeset: 44:95f85022
Release: Spring 2026

Example: the Hamlet node from above, delivered over the REST API and cited by an agent. Illustrative data.

Rights: Model licenses, holders and territories as data on the content, and enforce them with rules before anything ships.
Provenance: Each node records who changed it, when, and in which changeset, with audit trails across projects.
Lifecycle: Workflow-driven review and approval, then scheduled releases from editorial to staging to live.
Delivery: REST, GraphQL and SDKs for applications; CDNs, S3 and HTTP targets for publishing; approved data sets for AI agents.
