What it is

VitePress is the Vue-team-blessed docs SSG, succeeding VuePress. Fast, minimal, opinionated for documentation. Used by Vite, Vue, Pinia, Vitest themselves.

Best for

  • Documentation for Vue libraries
  • Technical docs sites by Vue teams
  • Internal documentation portals

When not to pick it

Skip VitePress for marketing sites or content-heavy blogs — the docs opinions get in the way. Astro Starlight is a stronger alternative for non-Vue docs.

My take

VitePress for Vue docs, Docusaurus for React docs, Starlight for framework-agnostic docs. Pick by the team's primary framework.
