Ramen is a type-safe static site generator built with OCaml. It provides a command-line tool for creating content-heavy websites from Markdown documents and YAML data.
The software validates structured content before generating the site, helping identify missing fields, invalid formats, and inconsistent data. Its core functionality is also available as an OCaml library for integration with applications that require more control over content processing and HTML generation.
This is free and open source software.
