Spignite is a lightweight static website generator built with Javascript; that uses existing, mature libraries. You can think of Spignite as a generic file processor applied to a use case of building a website.
All this makes Spignite easy to use and extend (it's just Javascript after all) and - quite fast. Enough talking; let's dig in.
Spignite comes with reasonable defaults. However, don't expect it works magically - it's a big chance you will end up writing some JavaScript code here and there!
Why?
Pure JavaScript - no surprises, no awful templating, no custom engines... This is just a collection of existing, proven tools configured to work together.
Easy to write extensions and your own operations in JavaScript.
Everything is configurable.
Spignite is just a file-processing engine; at the end: define the input files and operations to be executed on them.
Very fast.
Developer friendly.
