A Doclet is written in Java and uses the Doclet API, The StandardDoclet included with Javadoc generates API documentation as frame-based HTML files. Other Doclets are available on the web [citation needed], often for free. These can be used to: Create other types of documentation (non-API) Output to a format other than HTML; such as PDF
In software development, a documentation generator is an automation technology that generates documentation. A generator is often used to generate API documentation which is generally for programmers or operational documents (such as a manual) for end users. A generator often pulls content from source, binary or log files. [1]
class inheritance diagrams, graphviz, third party (e.g. using aafigure, actdiag, Google Chart, gnuplot, mermaid) Automatic cross-referencing (including between projects), Index; Table of Contents, Syntax highlighting with Pygments custom objects (such as functions and classes) Visual Expert: documentation content and styles customizable
The APIs provide functionality like analytics, machine learning as a service (the Prediction API) or access to user data (when permission to read the data is given). Another important example is an embedded Google map on a website, which can be achieved using the Static Maps API, [1] Places API [2] or Google Earth API. [3]
Like other documentation generators such as Javadoc, Doxygen extracts information from both the comment and the symbolic (non-comment) code. A comment is associated with a programming symbol by immediately preceding it in the code. Markup in the comments allows for controlling inclusion and formatting of the resulting documentation.
Sphinx converts reStructuredText files into HTML websites and other formats including PDF, EPub, Texinfo and man. reStructuredText is extensible, and Sphinx exploits its extensible nature through a number of extensions – for autogenerating documentation from source code, writing mathematical notation or highlighting source code, etc.
API description languages are sometimes called interface description languages (IDLs). The structured description might be used to generate documentation for human programmers; such documentation may be easier to read than free-form documentation, since all documentation generated by the same tool follows the same formatting conventions ...
An open API (often referred to as a public API) is a publicly available application programming interface that provides developers with programmatic access to a (possibly proprietary) software application or web service. [1] Open APIs are APIs that are published on the internet and are free to access by consumers. [2]
