Sitecore JavaScript Software Development Kit for Astro
We are happy to announce the first public version of Sitecore JSS SDK for Astro!
Why Astro?
Previously, if you want Sitecore SSG(Static Site Generation) website, you had only one option: Next.js. Now, you can use Astro and get better site performance.
Most web frameworks(React(Next.js), Angular, Vue) were designed to build web applications. But do you build web application with Sitecore? Or do you build more often content-focused sites? Astro is ideal for content-rich websites. It was designed with a focus on content to achieve unmatched performance.
If your site needs interactivity, you are not limited with one components framework, like it was with React for Next.js. You can use your favorite web framework together with Astro. Also, it allows migration to Astro components by component without huge investments.
