PhpDocumentor - générer de la documentation d…

phpDocumentor est un générateur de documentation API PHP et un analyseur de code source qui transforme les fichiers PHP et les DocBlocks en références API HTML structurées. Il fonctionne comme un générateur de site statique et un outil de documentation automatique conçu pour synchroniser la documentation technique avec les changements de code.

Le projet se distingue en agissant comme un générateur de diagrammes UML, produisant des graphiques de classes et d'architecture via PlantUML basés sur l'analyse du code source. Il prend également en charge la rédaction de manuels techniques, rendant des guides écrits à la main en Markdown et ReStructuredText aux côtés des références API générées automatiquement.

L'outil fournit de larges capacités pour l'analyse du code source, y compris la génération d'arbres de syntaxe abstraits, le marquage de métadonnées et la gestion de l'héritage de la documentation. Il inclut des outils de visualisation pour l'architecture du code, le contrôle de la visibilité des éléments et la gestion de la documentation versionnée.

Les builds peuvent être gérés via des fichiers de configuration XML pour automatiser la génération au sein des pipelines d'intégration continue.

Features

API Documentation Generators - Automatically generates searchable API references for classes, methods, and properties from PHP source code.
API Reference Generation - Automatically generates searchable technical references for PHP classes and methods from source code and comments.
Content Metadata Tagging - Uses structured tags to define specialized metadata such as parameter types and return values.
Documentation Compilation - Compiles parsed source descriptors and links into final rendered documentation files based on templates.
Documentation Templating Engines - Converts internal documentation descriptors into final HTML using a pluggable templating engine.
Static Site Generators - Converts source code analysis and Markdown or ReStructuredText files into a static website.
Documentation Artifacts - Transforms internal analysis results into structured documentation artifacts using templates.
Class Diagrams - Creates visual representations of relationships between classes and interfaces based on source code analysis.
AST-Based Diagram Generators - Produces class and code diagrams using PlantUML based on PHP source analysis.
PHP Project Visualization - Generates class diagrams and architectural graphs using PlantUML to visualize relationships between interfaces and classes.
API Documentation Generators - Analyzes PHP source code and DocBlocks to produce structured HTML API references.
Documentation Generation - Extracts structured information from DocBlocks to produce summaries and metadata for the API reference.
Documentation Descriptors - Transforms source code into structured descriptors to decouple analysis from final documentation rendering.
PHP Code Analysis - Parses PHP files to create structured metadata, abstract syntax trees, and visual relationship diagrams of the codebase.
Source Code Analysis Tools - Analyzes source code files to transform them into structured intermediate representations for processing.
Source File Parsing - Converts source files into structured abstract syntax trees utilizing a performance cache.
DocBlock Annotation Processing - Extracts specialized tags and namespaced annotations from source code to define metadata.
Code Relationship Visualization - Produces visual representations of the codebase structure using PlantUML to visualize architectural relationships.
Documentation Tools - Synchronizes technical documentation with code changes during continuous integration.
Document Conversion - Transforms hand-written formatted text files into static pages that integrate with the API reference.
Document Output Customization - Uses a templating engine to convert internal documentation data into custom HTML layouts.
Dynamic Code Referencing - Embeds live information from the source code into documentation to ensure content remains synchronized with changes.
Markdown to Rich Text Parsers - Parses Markdown syntax to render rich text, inline code, and hyperlinks within documentation descriptions.
Documentation Build Configurations - Stores project settings in XML files to automate builds without repeating command-line arguments.
Generation Configuration Managers - Defines documentation output and analysis rules in version-controlled XML files for consistent builds.
Generator Extensibility Frameworks - Adds custom capabilities to the generator through external packages or custom service bundles.
Documentation Automation - Integrates documentation generation into a continuous integration pipeline to keep technical manuals synchronized with code changes.
Documentation Automation - Automates API documentation generation within continuous integration pipelines to keep docs synchronized with code.
Parsed AST Caching - Caches processed metadata and abstract syntax trees to enable faster incremental builds.
Multi-Pass Compiler Pipelines - Executes a series of discrete transformation steps on extracted source data to apply business rules.
Relationship Graph Visualizers - Generates diagrams and graphs to visualize the relationships and structures within the source code.
AST-Based Visualization - Analyzes abstract syntax trees to generate architectural graphs and UML diagrams.
Documentation Compilation Passes - Runs specific business rules or transformations on extracted source data during the compilation process.
Dependency Injection Containers - Uses a service container to manage tool extensions and inject runtime configuration into generators.
Technical Reference Manuals - Creates custom architectural guides and hand-written documentation in ReStructuredText and Markdown to supplement automated API references.
Versioned Documentation - Organizes output into distinct folders based on project version numbers to maintain separate documentation sets.
Documentation Rendering - Renders custom guides written in ReStructuredText as static pages alongside API references.

Appledoc is an Objective-C documentation generator and static site generator that parses source code comments to create structured HTML documentation sets. Its primary purpose is to generate professional developer reference guides that adhere to official Apple style documentation. The tool distinguishes itself by integrating directly into the project compilation process via automated build-phase scripts, ensuring that technical guides are updated as code changes. It provides extensive customization through external HTML and CSS templates, as well as a property list configuration system to man

Doxygen is a source code documentation generator and multi-language API reference tool. It extracts annotated comments from source code to create structured technical manuals and searchable software libraries in formats including HTML, LaTeX, and PDF. The project functions as a static code analysis visualizer, generating call graphs, class diagrams, and inheritance hierarchies to illustrate codebase structure. It also serves as an XML documentation export engine, producing structured metadata that can be transformed via XSLT or third-party tools. Beyond API extraction, the tool provides a Ma

Docfx is a documentation build tool that generates structured API reference pages from compiled .NET assemblies and XML documentation comments, while also functioning as a markdown static site generator for technical documentation. It combines automated API metadata extraction with markdown rendering to build developer portals and documentation sites, producing output simultaneously in HTML, JSON, and PDF formats from a single build configuration. The tool provides fine-grained control over which APIs appear in the generated documentation through visibility-based filtering, attribute-based ex

This project is an interactive tutorial generator and static site generator that transforms source documents, such as Markdown and Google Docs, into structured instructional guides. It functions as a documentation conversion tool that compiles source content into static HTML assets and metadata for distribution to public or private audiences. The system utilizes a custom element UI framework to embed interactive instructional components using standard HTML custom elements, removing the need for external JavaScript frameworks. It supports multi-format content export, allowing a single source o
