Docusaurus

Docusaurus is a static site generator built with React and Node.js. It takes your Markdown files and creates a complete documentation website with all the features users expect. Unlike building a website from scratch, Docusaurus handles the hard parts for you.

The tool uses MDX, which means you can add interactive React components right inside your Markdown files. This makes your documentation more engaging without extra work. It comes with built-in search powered by Algolia, version management for different product releases, and support for over 70 languages through translation tools.

Because it creates static files, your documentation loads fast and can be hosted anywhere. The sites work great on mobile devices and follow modern web standards for speed and accessibility.

Getting started with Docusaurus is simple and takes just a few minutes:

• Install Node.js version 20 or higher on your computer, then run the setup command in your terminal to create a new site.

• Write your documentation in Markdown files inside the docs folder. Each file becomes a page on your website.

• Customize the look and feel by editing the configuration file. You can change colors, add your logo, and set up navigation menus.

• Use the local preview command to see changes instantly in your browser as you work.

• Add blog posts by creating Markdown files in the blog folder with dates in the filename.

• When ready to publish, run the build command to generate static files, then upload them to any web host like GitHub Pages, Netlify, or Vercel.

The tool includes detailed guides and a helpful community if you get stuck.
