+- [**Config adapters**](https://caddyserver.com/docs/config-adapters) if you don't like JSON
+- **Automatic HTTPS** by default
+ - [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org) for public sites
+ - Fully-managed local CA for internal names & IPs
+ - Can coordinate with other Caddy instances in a cluster
+- **Stays up when other servers go down** due to TLS/OCSP/certificate-related issues
+- **HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, and experimental HTTP/3** support
+- **Highly extensible** [modular architecture](https://caddyserver.com/docs/extending-caddy) lets Caddy do anything without bloat
