docToolchain
AsciiDoc Toolchain for technical Software Documentation
docToolchain is a toolkit built around the “docs as code” philosophy, designed to make writing, maintaining, and publishing technical documentation as smooth as software development itself. It provides a suite of scripts and integrations to generate documentation from AsciiDoc (and related formats), run automated checks, incorporate diagrams, and publish outputs in different formats (HTML, PDF, etc.). The framework encourages documentation and architecture artifacts to live alongside source code, versioned in the same repositories, so changes in code and docs can evolve together. It supports templates (such as the arc42 architecture template), reusable snippets, and modular documentation where different aspects (API docs, architecture, user guides) are composed. The toolchain also includes validation stages (e.g. sanity checks, broken link detection) to catch issues before publication. -

apiDoc
RESTful web API documentation Generator
apiDoc creates a documentation from API annotations in your source code. apiDoc gives you the ability to attach a version number to an API so you can easily track changes between versions. Creates an apiDoc of all files within dir myapp/, uses template from dir mytemplate/ and put all output to dir apidoc/. Without any parameter, apiDoc generate a documentation from all .cs .dart .erl .go .java .js .php .py .rb .ts files in current dir (incl. subdirs) and writes the output to ./doc/. apiDoc include a default template which uses handlebars, Bootstrap, RequireJS and jQuery for the output of the generated api_data.js and api_project.js as a html-page. By default the generated apiDoc use a complex Template, which supports versioning, to view different versions of your API, and comparing, to view changes between two versions of your API. You can create your own template and use the apiDoc generated files. -

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. -

OpenAPI Generator
OpenAPI Generator allows generation of API client libraries
With 50+ client generators, you can easily generate code to interact with any server which exposes an OpenAPI document. Maintainers of APIs may also automatically generate and distribute clients as part of official SDKs. Each client supports different options and features, but all templates can be replaced with your own Mustache-based templates. Getting started with server development can be tough, especially if you're evaluating technologies. We can reduce the burden when you bring your own OpenAPI document. Some generators support Inversion of Control, allowing you to iterate on design via your OpenAPI document without worrying about blowing away your entire domain layer when you regenerate code. Ever wanted to iteratively design a MySQL database, but writing table declarations was too tedious? OpenAPI documents allow you to convert the metadata about your API into some other format. -

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. -

YARD
YARD is a Ruby Documentation tool. The Y stands for "Yay!"
With the new dynamic documentation server in YARD 0.6, you can now see exactly what YARD sees as you document your code. Simply type yard server, reload to have your project watch for changes in your codebase everytime you refresh the page. With this functionality, you almost have no excuse not to write documentation! You can write all kinds of extensions in YARD, including ones that can understand all of the dynamic magic your framework does in its own little Domain Specific Languages (DSLs). Most importantly, it's really easy to do! There are already plugins that support frameworks like RSpec, DataMapper, Sinatra, and support for others are in the works. YARD is the only Ruby documentation tool that supports storing metadata alongside your documentation. This metadata can be used to create consistent documentation in any format you wish. YARD also comes with a powerful templating system to quickly modify existing templates. -

terraform-docs
Generate documentation from Terraform modules in various formats
terraform-docs is a utility to generate documentation from Terraform modules in various output formats. The terraform-docs configuration file uses the yaml format in order to override any default behaviors. This is a convenient way to share the configuration amongst teammates, CI, or other toolings. Once you set it up and configured it, every time you or your teammates want to regenerate documentation (manually, through a pre-commit hook, or as part of a CI pipeline) all you need to do is run terraform-docs /module/path. One of the most popular format is markdown table, which is a very good fit for generating README of module. terraform-docs is available on Linux, macOS, Windows, and FreeBSD platforms. terraform-docs will locate any available configuration file without needing to explicitly pass the --config flag. -

AniList Api v2 GraphQL Docs
AniList API V2 GraphQL Documentation
The AniList GraphQL Api provides quick and powerful access to over 500k anime and manga entries, including character, staff, and live airing data. The AniList & AniChart websites themselves run on the Api, so everything you can do on the sites, you can do via the Api. Free for non-commercial use. GraphQL is a strongly typed Api query language that provides an alternative to REST. It allows clients to define the structure of the data required, and exactly the same structure of the data is returned from the server. This avoids both the problems of over and under-fetching data, while also allowing for a more powerful and flexible Api. You can omit the variables object and instead hard-code your values inside your query, however, this is not recommended past the simplest of queries. -
