## What it is
JBake is a Java-based open source static site and blog generator for developers and designers. It converts AsciiDoc, Markdown, and HTML content into static websites using template engines like Freemarker, Groovy, Thymeleaf, Jade, and Pebble.

## Use cases
- generate a static blog from markdown files
- build a project documentation site with asciidoc
- create a personal website without a database
- publish a blog with RSS/Atom feeds and tags
- integrate static site generation into a Maven or Gradle build
- preview draft blog posts locally before publishing

## When to choose
- you work on the JVM and want a static site generator in Java
- you need AsciiDoc support for technical documentation
- you want blog features like feeds, archives, and tags out of the box
- you prefer a self-contained binary with no complex dependency setup

## When to avoid
- you need a large ecosystem of themes and plugins like Jekyll or Hugo offer
- you want extremely fast builds on very large sites
- you don't have a JRE available in your environment

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: static-site-generator, templating, markdown
- domain: web-development, developer-tools, documentation
- platform: cross-platform, jvm, cli
- tags: blog-generator, asciidoc, java, static-content, freemarker, groovy-templates
