Welcome to Docus, a fully integrated documentation solution built with Nuxt UI and powered by the best of the Nuxt ecosystem.

What is Docus?

Docus is a modern documentation framework that combines the power of Nuxt 4, Nuxt Content, and Nuxt UI to deliver beautiful, performant documentation sites. Built as a Nuxt layer, Docus provides a clean, minimal theme that lets you focus on what matters most: writing great content. The framework uses enhanced Markdown with MDC syntax, allowing you to embed Vue components directly in your documentation without writing any JavaScript.
