## What it is
VuePress is a Vue-powered static site generator with a markdown-centered project structure that pre-renders static HTML and runs as an SPA after load. This repository contains the core packages, with Vite as the recommended bundler and Webpack also supported.

## Use cases
- build a documentation site from markdown files
- generate a static blog with Vue components in markdown
- create a project docs site with a default theme
- build a static site that behaves like an SPA after load
- write custom themes and plugins for a docs generator
- migrate a VuePress v1 site to v2

## When to choose
- you want a markdown-first static site generator with Vue integration
- you need pre-rendered HTML plus SPA navigation for docs or blogs
- you want a flexible plugin and theme API with Vite or Webpack bundling

## When to avoid
- you need a fully stable, non-RC generator with no breaking changes between releases
- you prefer React or another non-Vue ecosystem
- you need a general-purpose dynamic web application framework rather than a static site generator
