Differences between NJekyll and Jekyll?

[ricardopolo]

I was looking for imformation about NJekyll but only find in this Appveyor website. What is it and what is the difference between Jekyll? Why it has been created?

The most important difference is that NJekyll is not producing static site, but it's a dynamic ASP.NET app heavily using caching. Publishing process is simple - just update any content file, style, image and instantly see results on website.

While basic structures look "almost" the same (site, page, posts, collections, accessing YML data) NJekyll doesn't provide complete set of tags and filters found in Jekyll, for example, date formatting or syntax highlighting.

The best way to see all the differences is checking AppVeyor website in "~/site" folder :)
