Kerouac is a static site generator written in Node.js.

Modules

Kerouac is as extensible as it is simple, through the use of plugins and middleware.

Plugins

Plugins bundle up common portions of a website, such as a blog, into reusable modules. Plugins can be shared amongst multiple sites, while reducing the cost of maintenance for common functionality.

Taking the concept popularized by Express and Connect, Kerouac middleware is a powerful and flexible mechanism for fully customizing how static pages are generated. It can be used for everything from processing markup to querying external databases or APIs.
