## What it is
PublicCMS is an open-source Java content management system built on Spring Boot, FreeMarker, and Hibernate Search, designed to support tens of millions of records and page views. It offers full-site staticization, SSI, full-text search, visual editing, multilingual content, and recent AI-assisted page generation features.

## Use cases
- build a high-traffic corporate or government website with a java cms
- generate static html pages from a cms for seo and performance
- run a multilingual content site in chinese, japanese, and english
- self-host a content management system on java 21 and mysql
- add full-text search to a large content website
- prototype an enterprise web application on a cms platform
- serve tens of millions of page views with staticization and ssi

## When to choose
- you need a jvm-based cms that scales to very large sites and traffic
- you want static page generation, SSI, and customizable URL rules built in
- your team works in Java/Spring and wants full source access and customization
- you need multilingual content management with visual editing

## When to avoid
- you need a fully free license for commercial enterprise use - V4.0+ requires paid commercial licensing
- you want a lightweight php or node cms with a large plugin marketplace
- you need a headless-only cms without server-side rendering
- your stack is not java and you cannot run jdk 17/21 and mysql
