About Docusaurus
Docusaurus is an open source site generator for documentation, blogs and marketing pages. It turns Markdown and MDX files into a fast static website that you can host almost anywhere.
What it does
You write docs and blog posts as Markdown files, and Docusaurus builds them into plain HTML pages. Because it supports MDX, you can place React components inside your content when plain text is not enough. The project is designed to be customized, so you can change the layout and reuse the data that its plugins produce.
Key features
- Write pages in Markdown with MDX support
- Place React components inside content pages
- Keep docs for several releases side by side
- Publish translations for each language
- Add search through Algolia integration
Who it's for
Docusaurus suits open source projects, developer tools and product teams that already work with React or Git. It works well when you want a polished documentation site that lives in the same repository as your code, so writers and engineers can review changes together.
Pricing and good to know
The project is open source under the MIT license, so the generator itself costs nothing to use. You host the built files yourself on any static host. Setup involves Node-based tooling and a project structure, so it asks more of a developer than a hosted editor does.
