Introducing Astro 2.0! Astro is a popular web framework for building performant, content-focused websites. Our next-gen frontend architecture (known as Astro Islands) can optimize your site to load 33% faster with 90% less JavaScript using the UI frameworks you already love like React, Svelte, and Vue.

Astro 2.0 is the first major web framework to deliver complete type-safety for Markdown and MDX. Astro now helps you organize your Markdown with built-in parsing, validation, and automatic TypeScript type generation. This new release is a game-changer for anyone working with Markdown on the web.

Astro 2.0 is available on npm today. Run npm i astro@latest to upgrade an existing project, or visit astro.new start a new one from scratch (right in your browser).
