Bonobo is a minimalist static site generator written in C.
It’s designed to be very small and easy to understand, and it builds pages from files that combine JSON metadata with Markdown content while also supporting RSS feeds.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- No need to write HTML directly, because content is written in Markdown.
- Tiny C codebase that’s intended to be easy to understand and modify.
- Uses source files that split page metadata and page content into a simple format.
- Supports page metadata such as title, description, date, language, and CSS selection.
- Includes example Bonobo pages in the repository’s test directory.
