Grav is a free, open-source and self-hosted content management system (CMS) based on the PHP programming language and Symfony web application framework. It uses a flat file database for both backend and frontend. Grav is more widely used, and growing at a faster rate, other leading flat-file CMS competitors.

Grav is designed to have a shallow learning curve, and to be easy to set up.

The origins of Grav are to work with an open source platform that focused on speed and simplicity, rather than an abundance of built-in features that come at the expense of complexity. The name Grav is just a shortened version of the word Gravity.
