To get access to the content in a fluid container, you need a Fluid client. You can run the fluid client code server side using NodeJS (or some other compatible JavaScript runtime of your choice: NodeJS is just the one that we test and know works), then implement some logic on the JS side to handle some of the logic and communicate with the rest of your service.

We do not have any official bindings to any other languages (other than TypeScript/JavaScript), and with how Shared Tree's schema works, you will likely want to implement at least some of the logic using TypeScript.

If you don't need write access to the content, and don't care about having a nice schema aware API, consider having some minimal JavaScript code connect using the fluid client and dump the tree data using exportverbose.
