Scramble
Modern Laravel OpenAPI (Swagger) documentation generator
Scramble is OpenAPI (Swagger) documentation generator for Laravel. It generates API documentation for your project automatically without requiring you to manually write PHPDoc annotations. The documentation is generated in OpenAPI 3.1.0 format. To show the documentation in UI, Stoplight Elements is used. The main motto of the project is to generate as much API documentation automatically as possible. This allows you to focus on code and avoid annotating every possible param/field as it may result in outdated documentation. By generating docs automatically from the code your API will always have up-to-date documentation you can trust. -

jsdoc-to-markdown
Generate markdown documentation from jsdoc-annotated javascript
Generates markdown API documentation from jsdoc annotated source code. Useful for injecting API docs into project README files. By default, dmd generates github-flavored markdown. Not all markdown parsers render gfm correctly. If your generated docs look incorrect on sites other than Github (e.g. npmjs.org) try enabling this option to disable Github-specific syntax. Two options to render parameter lists: 'list' or 'table' (default). Table format works well in most cases but switch to list if things begin to look crowded / squashed. By default, the output of each invocation of the main generation methods (render, getTemplateData etc) is stored in the cache (your system's temporary directory). Future jsdoc2md invocations with the same input options and source code will return the output immediately from cache, making the tool much faster/cheaper. If the input options or source code changes, fresh output will be generated. -

tapir
Declarative, type-safe web endpoints library
Declarative, type-safe web endpoints library. With tapir, you can describe HTTP API endpoints as immutable Scala values. Each endpoint can contain a number of input and output parameters. Compile-time guarantees, develop-time completions, read-time information. Separate the shape of the endpoint (the "what"), from the server logic (the "how"). Generate documentation from endpoint descriptions. Leverage the metadata to report rich metrics and tracing information. Re-use common endpoint definitions, as well as individual inputs/outputs. Library, not a framework, integrates with your stack. Is your company already using tapir? We're continually expanding the "adopters" section in the documentation; the more the merrier! It would be great to feature your company's logo, but in order to do that, we'll need to write permission to avoid any legal misunderstandings. -

ECMAScript
Status, process, and documents for ECMA-262
The most accurate and up-to-date ECMAScript specification. It contains the content of the most recent yearly snapshot plus any finished proposals (those that have reached Stage 4 in the proposal process and thus are implemented in several implementations and will be in the next practical revision) since that snapshot was taken. This Ecma Standard defines the ECMAScript 2022 Language. It is the twelfth edition of the ECMAScript Language Specification. Since publication of the first edition in 1997, ECMAScript has grown to be one of the world's most widely used general-purpose programming languages. It is best known as the language embedded in web browsers but has also been widely adopted for server and embedded applications. ECMAScript is based on several originating technologies, the most well-known being JavaScript (Netscape) and JScript (Microsoft). The language was invented by Brendan Eich at Netscape and first appeared in that company's Navigator 2.0 browser. -

Schema Spy
SchemaSpy code home
This is a new code repository for SchemaSpy tool initially created and maintained by John Currier. I personally believe that work on SchemaSpy should be continued, and a lot of still existing issues should be resolved. Last released version of the SchemaSpy was in 2010, and I have a plan to change this. Process of installation is very simple because SchemaSpy is only one Java .jar application. You can learn more read the installation doc. When you environment will be ready, and you can start using SchemaSpy you can read more about the configuration. Browse some sample pages generated by SchemaSpy. Note that this was run against an extremely limited schema so it doesn't show the full power of the tool. -

DevDocs
API Documentation Browser
The devdocs repository powers the DevDocs web application, a fast, offline-friendly documentation browser for many programming languages, libraries, and APIs. It aggregates documentation from multiple sources (e.g., MDN, Python, Ruby, Git, etc.), converts them into a uniform format, and indexes them for instant text searching. The codebase includes a backend that handles ingestion, parsing, and transformation of documentation sources into a static site structure, as well as the client side UI code for browsing, searching, and reading docs in a responsive interface. DevDocs supports offline usage: users can download sets of docs for use without an internet connection, benefiting from caching and compact compressed storage. The repository includes scripts for updating doc sources, building, and deploying the documentation site. Because it is meant as a reference tool, performance and usability (e.g. fast search, minimal latency) are emphasized in design. -

Swagger2Markup
Swagger to AsciiDoc or Markdown converter
The primary goal of this project is to simplify the generation of up-to-date RESTful API documentation by combining documentation that’s been hand-written with auto-generated API documentation produced by Swagger. The result is intended to be an up-to-date, easy-to-read, on- and offline user guide, comparable to GitHub’s API documentation. The output of Swagger2Markup can be used as an alternative to swagger-UI and can be served as static content. Swagger2Markup converts a Swagger JSON or YAML file into several AsciiDoc or GitHub Flavored Markdown documents which can be combined with hand-written documentation. The Swagger source file can be located locally or remotely via HTTP. Swagger2Markup supports the Swagger 1.2 and 2.0 specifications. Internally it uses the official swagger-parser and my markup-document-builder. You can use Swagger2Markup to convert your contract-first Swagger YAML file into a human-readable format. -

a11y.css
This CSS file intends to warn developers about possible risks
This CSS file intends to warn developers about possible risks and mistakes that exist in HTML code. It can also be used to roughly evaluate a site's quality by simply including it as an external stylesheet. When activating the stylesheet, a tip should appear beside each incriminated elements, displaying what’s going on. This file is not a replacement to a complete tool such as aXe, Tanaguru or Tenon. It only intends to show possible weaknesses. You should obviously do some manual check by hand to know whether the code should or should not be fixed. You can also use the form on the left sidebar to define the minimum level and language, in order to generate a custom bookmarklet. Then simply drag the green button to your bookmarks, and you're done! You're now able to use a11y.css on every page you visit by simply clicking on this bookmark. -

Google Open Source Project Style Guide
Chinese version of Google open source project style guide
Each larger open source project has its own style guide, a series of conventions on how to write code for the project (sometimes more arbitrary). When all the code maintains a consistent style, it is more important when understanding large code bases. easy. The meaning of "style" covers a wide range, from "variables use camelCase" to "never use global variables" to "never use exceptions". The English version of the project maintains the programming style guidelines used in Google. If the project you are modifying originates from Google, you may be directed to the English version of the project page to understand the style used by the project. The Chinese version of the project uses reStructuredText plain text markup syntax, and uses Sphinx to generate document formats such as HTML / CHM / PDF.
