    Build your own language using Tree Notation.

  • The `grammar` files are written in a Tree Language called Grammar. Those are your schema files. You basically create a new syntax-free plain text "language" for storing your data, in this case 1 "car" file per model of car.

    It was a pipedream of mine until the M1's came out. Those changed everything, because then it became fast enough to actually do it.

    We have a new release coming out soon with a new query language that will change everything. Here is the source code: https://github.com/breck7/jtree/tree/main/treeBase

  • Backdrop CMS

    Backdrop is a full-featured content management system that allows non-technical users to manage a wide variety of content. It can be used to create all kinds of websites including blogs, image galleries, social networks, intranets, and more.

  • I see you decided on Wordpress, if you were going to use a CMS I think Drupal 7 would have been a good choice. Drupal has concept of entities and views. An entity as the name suggests is essentially a table and you can add all sorts of different fields to it. From simple text and number fields to images and fields that lookup other entities thus creating relationships between entities. Views is another construct that lets you choose how to display the entities. As a list of as a table a two possible views. Most of this can be done in Drupal 7 without writing code. I say Drupal 7 because you mentioned Wordpress. Drupal 8 and above is more of a developer framework and requires knowledge of Composer. Backdrop [0] is fork of Drupal 7.
