Origins dari eZ Platform

eZ Platform is the successor of eZ Publish, Open Source CMS in development since 1999. The previous iteration, eZ Publish 5, is a hybrid approach with old code and rewritable code. eZ Platform derives all legacy code from the software and completes the transition to a complete new code base built in Symfony2 Full Stack Framework. The content repository core and user interface are rewritten, but retain the same concepts as the previous Publish eZ software.

The eZ Platform is one of many CMS's that uses the Symfony PHP component.

Features and their relationship to Symfony Framework

The eZ Platform builds on Symfony Full Stack Framework, the leading PHP framework currently used by over 300,000 developers worldwide. Since the eZ Platform is based on a complete framework, developers can integrate Symfony extensions (eg Bundles) into the eZ Platform to add functionality and, conversely, Symfony developers can integrate eZ into their Symfony project. eZ Platform itself - in Symfony terms - a number of bundles standing on top of Symfony that add features like:

Content repository with multilingual capabilities and versions
User Interface to manage content repositories
The REST API to interact with the content repository using JavaScript or other clients
Siteaccess configuration model for matching URLs to provide views to the
User management and permissions to control access to the
Integrated Solr search engine for performance and search features

Relationship to eZ Enterprise and eZ Studio

eZ Platform itself is free software, but also serves as the core of eZ Enterprise, a commercially supported content management system by eZ System. eZ Enterprise consists of eZ Platform and eZ Studio - an additional set of tools for editors and marketers - along with professional services and support. eZ Studio is fully integrated into the same User Interface with the eZ Platform. eZ Studio adds features for content creation and landing page management including automatic content scheduling, drag-and-drop blocks and in-page editing using APIs provided by the eZ Platform. Although eZ Studio is not open source, developers with access can customize and expand the landing toolset page editor by building additional functionality.
