About Markdoc

Markdoc is an open-source, Markdown-based syntax and toolchain designed for creating custom documentation sites and other content experiences. It was originally developed by Stripe to power their extensive public documentation. Markdoc extends standard Markdown with a fully declarative approach to composition and flow control, enabling developers and writers to build highly interactive and structured content. This framework is ideal for anyone looking to build scalable documentation, static content sites, or authoring tooling that requires deep customization and control. It offers a developer-friendly experience (DX) alongside a capable authoring experience (AX), allowing for rich content creation without sacrificing technical flexibility. Markdoc ensures content consistency and integrity through its built-in validation system. Markdoc provides a lightweight core package for quick setup, with additional resources like a Next.js plugin to accelerate deployment of documentation sites. Its extensibility allows for custom tags, nodes, and renderers, making it adaptable to a wide range of content needs, from personal blogs to enterprise-level documentation platforms.
