## Notes

Marko is an HTML-based language and runtime for building web applications and user interfaces. Marko Run is the application framework for Marko, and a project created with `npm init marko` runs on Node.js.

Marko Run renders pages as streaming server-side output, and an adapter can also render the same routes to static files that any file server or CDN can serve. The [adapters documentation](https://markojs.com/docs/marko-run/adapters) describes the static option.

## Worth knowing

The installation page lists Node.js 18, 20 and 22 as prerequisites, while the npm package declares a higher minimum. The GitHub releases of the `marko` package stop at an older major than the npm release.
