Anything community produced with a tool to transfer over WP sites would do pretty well at the moment.

WordPress does provide a rest API, so you can do headless WordPress. It's essentially your content/data in JSON. From that point, you can do whatever.

The issue is you still need a CMS, or use WordPress.

The data format in wordpress is ridiculously bad though, if you just want to get content from an api use a decent framwork.
