Static Site Generator (SSG)

Definition

A Static Site Generator (SSG) is a tool that generates HTML pages from templates and content files (often markdown) at build time.

Popular SSGs: - Next.js (React) - Gatsby (React) - Hugo (Go) - Jekyll (Ruby) - Astro (Multi-framework) - Docusaurus (React)

SSGs are used for blogs, documentation sites, and marketing pages. They're fast because pages are pre-built, not generated on each request.
