VisitJekyll vs Tapestry
What both publish
| Fact | Jekyll | Tapestry |
|---|---|---|
| Assets | Jekyll processes Sass and can support CoffeeScript through a Ruby gem, with Liquid tags and filters available in asset files. | The default project scaffold includes Laravel Elixir support for compiling assets, with packages for image optimization, JavaScript bundling, and browser syncing. |
| Content formats | Markdown, Liquid, HTML, and CSS go in, and static sites ready for deployment come out. | Built-in renderers support .md, .markdown, .htm, .html and .phtml files; other files are copied to the build directory. |
| Deployment | Because output is static, Jekyll sites can be deployed manually, through automation or with third-party hosting. | Tapestry has no built-in deployment method; its documentation describes deploying generated static files to a server or GitHub Pages. |
| License | Jekyll is open source and distributed under the MIT License. | The site states that Tapestry is licensed under the MIT License. |
