# Starlight (https://devrel.directory/directory/starlight)

Astro's documentation framework with search, i18n, and theming out of the box; a fast-growing Docusaurus alternative.

Ships search, internationalization, dark mode, and accessible navigation on Astro's zero-JavaScript-by-default architecture, so docs stay fast without tuning. Content is Markdown or MDX, and components from any framework can be embedded where interactivity earns its keep. The performance-first pick among modern docs frameworks.
