## What it is
Nextra is a static site generation framework built on Next.js and MDX, letting you write content in Markdown/MDX files with file-based routing. It ships ready-made docs and blog themes, built-in search, i18n, and Shiki syntax highlighting.

## Use cases
- build a documentation site with markdown
- create a blog with mdx and next.js
- generate a static docs website with search
- add internationalization to a markdown site
- make a project documentation portal with react components in markdown

## When to choose
- you want a docs or blog site powered by Next.js and MDX
- you need file-based markdown routing with built-in search and i18n
- you want React components embedded directly in markdown content

## When to avoid
- you need a fully custom site without Next.js
- you want a non-React static site generator like Hugo or Astro
- your content is not markdown-based

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: active
- function: static-site-generator, ssr, markdown, documentation, search-engine, templating
- domain: web-development, frontend, documentation, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: nextjs, mdx, react, docs-theme, blog-theme, shiki, i18n, app-router, nodejs, web-server
