## What it is
Drupal is an open-source content management system (CMS) and PHP framework for building websites ranging from personal blogs to large enterprise and community-driven sites. This GitHub repository is a verbatim read-only mirror of Drupal core, which is actually developed on Drupal.org's GitLab instance.

## Use cases
- build a content-managed website or blog
- create an enterprise digital experience platform
- build a community-driven or membership website
- manage structured content with editorial workflows
- serve as a headless CMS backend for web and mobile apps
- build a multilingual website with localization support
- extend a site with community-contributed modules and themes

## When to choose
- you need a full-featured, self-hosted CMS with strong content modeling and editorial tooling
- you need enterprise-grade scalability, security advisories, and multilingual support
- you want a large ecosystem of contributed modules and themes
- you need an API-first, headless-ready content backend

## When to avoid
- you want to contribute code via GitHub pull requests - contributions go through Drupal.org issue forks
- you need a lightweight static site or minimal blog where a simpler tool suffices
- your team has no PHP/Symfony experience and prefers other stacks
- you need a small microservice or API-only project rather than a full CMS

## Facets

- function: web-framework, templating, api-framework, plugin-system, internationalization, caching, auth, accessibility
