About:
JBake is a static site generator written in Java that converts template and content files (like Markdown or AsciiDoc) into a complete HTML website. It provides a flexible templating system using engines like Thymeleaf, Freemarker, or Groovy. This tool is ideal for developers who want to create blogs or documentation sites without relying on complex database-driven CMS platforms.
Key Features:
  • Supports multiple content formats including Markdown, AsciiDoc, and HTML
  • Template engine flexibility with Thymeleaf, Freemarker, and Groovy
  • Watcher mode for automatic rebuilds during development
  • No database required, resulting in fast and secure static sites
Use Cases:
  • Building technical documentation websites
  • Creating personal or project blogs
  • Generating project landing pages
Alternatives:
  • Jekyll – Ruby-based, more popular but requires Ruby environment
  • Hugo – Go-based, significantly faster build times but different ecosystem
