Hexo VS Gatsby

Hexo

Hexo is a Node.js based static site generator that is quick, easy, and effective. It supports several themes and plugins for customization and enables you to produce static sites from source files, including Markdown.

Organizing and structuring material is made simple with built-in support for tags, categories, and pagination. Live reloading and a built-in development server in Hexo let you preview changes as they happen.

Hexo is a flexible static site generator since it is simple to combine with other programs like Google Analytics, Disqus, and others. It is well-liked by developers who need a quick and simple solution to build a blog or documentation website.

Gatsby

Gatsby is a frontend development framework called React-based static site generator (SSG) that leverages GraphQL and Webpack.

A static site that adheres to the most recent web standards is extremely performant, and is built using Gatsby can be a Progressive Web App. Since many developers are either familiar with or have at least utilized a portion of the technology stack Gatsby is based on, they may jump in without much of a learning curve.

A database or server-side programming language is not required for the Jamstack architecture, which powers Gatsby websites. Instead, it leverages JavaScript, APIs, and HTML markup.
