Introduction

What Kizlo is and what it offers.

What is Kizlo?

Kizlo is an open-source TypeScript framework for building content-driven applications with WordPress as a headless CMS and a frontend using Next.js, Astro, Svelte, or TanStack Start. Get an instant local, Docker-based environment to develop, test, and ship faster from your machine.

Features

Type-safe API

Define API procedures on the server, call them from the client — typed end to end, no casts.

SEO

Get structured data, social previews, sitemaps, and robots — all generated automatically.

Extensions

Use our existing extensions like WooCommerce, Contact Form 7, and more — or build your own.

Adapters

Connect your own auth, logging, and any external service — Kizlo adapts with no lock-in.

Framework-agnostic

Run on Next.js, Astro, or any other JavaScript framework and runtime — no migration needed.

CLI

Scaffold, develop, and test with rich CLI commands — against a local WordPress instance.

Events

Emit and subscribe to typed events across your app — react to what happens, no polling.

Testing

Run your suites against a real, disposable WordPress instance — no mocks, no surprises.
