## What it is
Docusaurus is a React-based static-site generator from Meta for building, deploying, and maintaining documentation websites. It turns Markdown/MDX content into optimized static sites with built-in versioning, i18n, search, blogging, and theming.

## Use cases
- build documentation website for an open source project
- create a docs site from markdown files with versioning
- set up a project website with blog and docs
- add multi-language translations to documentation
- generate a static site with React components in markdown
- host searchable documentation with Algolia

## When to choose
- you need a documentation site with versioning and i18n out of the box
- you want to write content in Markdown/MDX while customizing with React
- you maintain an open source project needing a polished website quickly

## When to avoid
- you need a fully dynamic server-rendered web application
- you want a minimal static site generator without a React toolchain
- your team has no JavaScript/React experience and needs simple HTML output

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: stable
- function: static-site-generator, documentation, markdown, templating, cli, internationalization
- domain: documentation, web-development, frontend, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: react, mdx, docs-site, jamstack, versioning, i18n, blogging, search, nodejs, web-server
