# Site and docs generators

36 projects are site and docs generators, listed alphabetically. Written in 10 languages, most of them open source.

A static site generator reads content, usually Markdown, together with templates, and writes a folder of HTML, CSS and JavaScript ahead of time. Nothing runs on the server when a visitor requests a page, so the output can go on any host that serves [static files](/runs-as/static/). Documentation generators belong here too: they add a sidebar, page navigation and often search or versioned docs, and some build API reference pages from source code comments. A record carries this category when producing that folder is a documented way to use it. Frameworks that can also render pages on request carry [web framework](/categories/framework/) too. Hugo, Eleventy and MkDocs are examples.

## Questions

### What is the best site and docs generator?

We can't tell from here. What suits an editor-heavy marketing site can be wrong for a static documentation site. The list is alphabetical and nobody paid for a place on it.
