## What it is
Aglio is an API Blueprint renderer that converts Markdown-based API descriptions into themed static HTML documentation. It works as a command-line tool, a live-reload preview server, and a Node.js library.

## Use cases
- render api blueprint to html
- generate static api documentation from markdown
- preview api docs with live reload
- customize api documentation theme
- host api docs on any static web host

## When to choose
- you write API documentation in API Blueprint format and want polished static HTML
- you need themeable, self-hosted API docs without a documentation service
- you want a CLI plus Node.js library for rendering blueprints in a build pipeline

## When to avoid
- you use OpenAPI/Swagger instead of API Blueprint
- you need actively maintained tooling - the project is stable but no longer actively developed
- you need interactive, executable API documentation rather than static pages

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: documentation, templating, cli, parser
- domain: documentation, apis, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: cli, cross-platform
- tags: api-blueprint, static-html, api-documentation, themes, markdown, nodejs
