How is Fumadocs different from other existing frameworks?
Nextra
Fumadocs is highly inspired by Nextra. For example, the Routing Conventions. That is why
meta.json also exists in Fumadocs.
Nextra is more opinionated than Fumadocs. Fumadocs is accelerated by App Router. As a result, It provides many server-side functions, and you have to configure things manually compared to simply editing a configuration file.
Fumadocs works great if you want more control over everything, such as adding it to an existing codebase or implementing advanced routing.
