VitePress is a static site generator (SSG) designed for building fast, content-centric websites.
VitePress takes your source content written in Markdown, applies a theme to it, and generates static HTML pages that can be easily deployed anywhere.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Ships with a default theme designed for technical documentation.

- Comes with built in Markdown extensions.
- Supports YAML frontmatter in all Markdown files, parsing them with gray-matter.
