Choosing the Right Generator

Consider These Factors

  1. Team Skills - Match framework and language to team expertise.
  2. Project Size - Single-repo docs versus multi-repo publishing.
  3. Customization - Required control over theme and information architecture.
  4. Performance - Build speed and runtime performance expectations.
  5. Maintenance - Ongoing operational and upgrade complexity.

Quick Recommendations

  • Getting started fast: VitePress or Docusaurus.
  • Python-heavy teams: MkDocs or Sphinx.
  • Performance-first teams: Astro or Zola.
  • Minimal setup needs: Docsify or 11ty.
  • Large organization docs: Antora or GitBook.
