Hugo

A static site generator that transforms content, data, templates, and assets into publishable files.

Canonical graph nodehugo

What it does

Hugo builds static outputs from content and templates. Here it renders articles, node pages, section navigation, a public JSON graph, RSS, and a sitemap. The graph model is our convention; Hugo does not automatically supply a graph database or an AI reasoning engine.

Where it fits

Precompute public information that can be known at build time. Use browser or runtime services only when the requirement demands them. Fast builds do not remove the need to measure your own content and template workload.

The site uses Hugo Extended 0.166.0. Root node: front matter is exposed as .Params.node; check compatibility when upgrading.
