Doxygen
Automatically generate source code documentation in various formats like HTML and PDF. Supports C++, Python, Java, C#, and more. Simplifies documentation.
Doxygen is a widely-used, free and open-source documentation generator that automates the creation of technical documentation directly from source code comments. It parses your code to extract information about classes, functions, variables, and more, simplifying and standardizing the documentation process across diverse programming languages and project scales. This enhances collaboration and maintenance.
Key features include:
- Multiple output formats: Generate documentation as HTML, PDF (via LaTeX), Word (via RTF), XML, and more.
- Extensive language support: Works with C++, C, Python, PHP, Java, C#, Objective-C, Fortran, VHDL, and others.
- Markdown support: Combine Markdown's simplicity with Doxygen's documentation tags.
- Cross-referencing: Automatically generates hyperlinks between related code elements for easy navigation.
- Diagram generation: Creates class hierarchy and collaboration diagrams visually representing code structure.
- Customizable configuration: Fine-tune the generation process using a detailed configuration file (Doxyfile).
