Zudoku for Web

Quick summary

Zudoku is an open-source framework for building documentation sites from OpenAPI and GraphQL definitions. It focuses on flexibility, letting teams shape tailored developer portals while delivering fast, SEO-friendly static sites.

Hosting and deployment choices

Zudoku is compatible with a variety of hosting environments, including:

• AWS Lambda
• Netlify
• Vercel
• Cloudflare Pages

These options make it simple to deploy either static builds or server-backed endpoints depending on your architecture.

Identity and authentication integrations

You can connect Zudoku to common auth providers to protect private docs and enable secure API flows:

• Supabase
• Firebase
• Auth0

Each provider can be used to gate content or to power authenticated API exploration.

Search and discoverability

Zudoku includes powerful search functionality driven by Inkeep, enabling deep indexing of OpenAPI specifications so developers can quickly find endpoints, models, and examples across your docs.

Customization and extensibility

The framework ships with a plugin architecture and theming capabilities to extend behavior and match branding:

• Extend features and workflows with plugins
• Apply visual themes and enable built-in dark mode
• Embed MDX to mix Markdown with React components

This makes it straightforward to add custom UI elements, analytics, or integrations without modifying core code.

Developer-facing features

Designed for API-first teams, Zudoku supports hands-on API exploration and rich content:

• Interactive API testing directly in the docs
• Full support for OpenAPI and GraphQL schemas
• Static-site generation for improved performance and SEO

These features help provide a smooth onboarding and testing experience for consumers of your APIs.
