# docsify > A magical documentation site generator. ## What it is Docsify turns your Markdown files into a documentation website instantly. Unlike most other documentation site generator tools, it doesn't need to build HTML files. Instead, it dynamically loads and parses your Markdown files and displays them as a website. To get started, create an `index.html` file and [deploy it on GitHub Pages](deploy.md) (for more details see the [Quick start](quickstart.md) guide). ## Features - No statically built HTML files - Simple and lightweight - Smart full-text search plugin - Multiple themes - Useful plugin API - Emoji support ## Examples Check out the [Showcase](https://github.com/docsifyjs/awesome-docsify#showcase) to see docsify in use. ## Donate Please consider donating if you think docsify is helpful to you or that my work is valuable.
