Key features of Astro JS for static website building

AstroJS is a framework for content-driven websites. It has some great features for building static websites like:

• support for MDX via the @astrojs/mdx integration
• integration with VS Code via the AstroJS VS Code extension that helps with writing .astro components (essentially JSX files with a Markdown-like frontmatter section where you can write some JavaScript code)
• content collections (logical content subsections, e.g. blog articles or product pages) and convenience functions like Astro.getCollection to obtain a list of parsed collection files).
• support for TypeScript, so that we can add typings for the properties expected by components written via .astro components (component props).
• simple dynamic routes and really nicely interplay with content collections.
