## What it is
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
