Maudit is a high-performance static site generator built as a Rust library. Unlike many frameworks that branch into server-side rendering or hybrid models, Maudit remains steadfastly focused on the creation of static websites. It provides developers with a robust, type-safe environment where they can build sites by writing standard Rust code. Because Maudit is a library rather than a restrictive framework, it empowers developers to hook into the build process, customize output, and integrate with any other Rust libraries. By leveraging the performance of the Rust programming language, Maudit enables the generation of websites with thousands of pages in less than a second, while maintaining efficient resource usage.

The tool functions by treating a website as a standard Rust program. Developers define their pages as structs decorated with route attributes, then register these routes in the project's entrypoint. During the build process, Maudit compiles these definitions into static files, making the output incredibly fast and reliable for end users. The library is designed to be developer-friendly, offering built-in support for Markdown, custom components, and syntax highlighting, while remaining agnostic regarding templating engines and styling frameworks.

Some of the key features are:

• Type-Safe Routing: Define routes using simple Rust structs and the #[route] attribute for clean, maintainable URL structures.
• Dynamic Content Support: Generate complex sites easily with dynamic route parameters that support automatic page generation based on content data.
• Bundling Integration: Utilizes Rolldown for fast JavaScript and CSS bundling, enabling seamless TypeScript and npm ecosystem integration.
• Library-First Design: Offers full control over the build process, as Maudit acts as a library that integrates into your application instead of forcing a specific framework structure.
• Performance Oriented: Architected to produce static sites with extremely fast compile times, even for large projects.
• Internationalization Support: Built-in support for generating localized page variants using prefixes or specific URL paths.
• Flexible Templating: Supports any templating engine that can return a String, providing total freedom over the presentation layer.

Maudit is used by defining project pages as Rust structs, implementing the Route trait, and calling the coronate function within the project's main.rs file. The Maudit CLI simplifies common tasks such as initializing new projects, running a local development server with hot-reloading capabilities, and previewing the final production-ready output. By keeping the site structure within Rust code, developers can leverage the compiler's strict checks to ensure page consistency.

Some common use cases include:

• Technical Blogs: Building content-heavy blogs that require fast loading speeds and reliable, version-controlled static assets.
• Documentation Sites: Creating comprehensive project documentation that benefits from fast build times and easy integration with custom markdown content.
• Performance-First Marketing Sites: Deploying marketing websites that require optimal Core Web Vitals and simple, cost-effective hosting on standard content delivery networks.
