VuePress is a minimalistic Vue-powered static site generator that renders markdown-centered projects into pre-rendered static HTML pages that behave as an SPA after load. This repository hosts VuePress v1, which is now in maintenance mode in favor of VitePress and VuePress v2 (vuepress/core).

Use cases

• generate documentation site from markdown
• build a static blog with Vue components
• create a project docs site with SEO support
• write docs using Vue components inside markdown
• build a fast static site with SPA navigation
• generate pre-rendered HTML pages for a website

When to choose

• you are maintaining an existing VuePress v1 site
• you want a Vue-based static site generator with a plugin and theme ecosystem
• you need markdown-first documentation with embedded Vue components

When to avoid

• you are starting a new project - use VitePress or VuePress v2 instead
• you need a non-Vue or non-JavaScript stack
• you need actively developed features or guaranteed API stability in v1
