Transform your plain text into static websites and blogs with a Ruby-powered engine.
The mature, Ruby-powered static site generator for high-performance frontend development.
Middleman is a professional-grade static site generator (SSG) built on Ruby, designed to provide developers with the same advanced tools used in dynamic web frameworks like Ruby on Rails. As of 2026, Middleman maintains a critical position in the market for organizations that prioritize stability, security, and a mature ecosystem over the high-churn cycles of JavaScript-based frameworks. Its architecture is built around a modular extension system, allowing for highly customized build pipelines that include sophisticated asset management, localized content handling, and dynamic template generation. Technically, Middleman leverages the Tilt template engine, enabling support for ERB, Haml, and Sass, while its 'Middleman::Sprockets' or Webpack integrations handle complex asset compilation. It is particularly favored for large-scale documentation projects and corporate marketing sites where the security of a static output (zero server-side attack surface) is non-negotiable. In the 2026 AI-driven development era, Middleman serves as an ideal host for AI-generated static content, providing a predictable and performant environment for deploying high-traffic, low-latency interfaces that are easily indexed by search engines and LLM crawlers alike.
Supports a wide variety of templating engines including ERB, Haml, and Liquid through the Tilt interface.
