## What it is
A TypeScript library that transforms markdown, MDX, and YAML content files into type-safe, validated data collections that can be imported directly into web apps. It integrates with frameworks like Next.js, Remix, SvelteKit, and Vite via adapters, with hot reloading and build-time preprocessing.

## Use cases
- build a type-safe blog with markdown posts in Next.js
- import MDX content into SvelteKit without manual parsing
- validate frontmatter with schemas at build time
- transform and join content collections before they reach the app
- replace manual file fetching for docs or CMS content
- use markdown content in a Remix app with Vite

## When to choose
- you want type-safe access to markdown/MDX content in a JS framework
- you need build-time validation of content frontmatter
- you want hot-reloading content without restarting your dev server
- you need to preprocess or transform content before use

## When to avoid
- your content lives in a headless CMS with an API
- you need a full CMS with editing UI
- your framework has no adapter and you prefer integrated tooling
- you work outside the Node.js/JavaScript ecosystem

## Facets
