## What it is
Nuxt Content is an official Nuxt module that turns Markdown, YAML, CSV, and JSON files in a content/ directory into a queryable, typed data layer. It supports Vue components in Markdown via MDC syntax, SQLite-backed queries, code highlighting, and works across static, server, serverless, and edge deployments.

## Use cases
- build a blog with markdown files in Nuxt
- git-based CMS for a Nuxt site
- render Vue components inside markdown
- generate documentation site from markdown files
- query content collections with type safety
- manage site content without a database backend

## When to choose
- you're building a Nuxt 3+ app with file-based content
- you want a git-based CMS with no external CMS service
- you need Vue components embedded in markdown
- you deploy to serverless or edge and need lightweight content storage

## When to avoid
- your project isn't built on Nuxt/Vue
- you need a headless CMS with a visual editing UI for non-technical editors (unless using Nuxt Studio)
- you need multi-user live editing workflows outside git
