About Docusaurus

Docusaurus is a site generator built in React. React developers use it to build documentation websites, blogs, and marketing pages. Authors write content in MDX, and Docusaurus builds it into static HTML files that can be served directly. Developers can extend and customize the layout with React components, and reuse data created by Docusaurus plugins in their own site design.

The homepage describes built-in support for localization, document versioning to keep docs aligned with project releases, and Algolia-based documentation search. Pricing is not stated and is listed as unknown.
