ApiGen is an API documentation generator for PHP projects that parses source code (including modern PHP 8.3 features and PHPStan phpDoc types) and produces readable HTML documentation. It is distributed as a CLI tool and Docker image.

Use cases

  • generate api documentation for a php project
  • generate html docs from phpdoc comments
  • document php 8 enums and readonly classes
  • produce class and namespace reference docs for a php library
  • automate api docs generation in ci

When to choose

  • you maintain a PHP library or application and want browsable API docs
  • your codebase uses modern PHP 8.x features and PHPStan-style phpDoc types
  • you want a simple CLI or Docker-based doc generator

When to avoid

  • you need documentation for non-PHP languages
  • you want user guides or markdown-based docs rather than API reference
  • you need a hosted documentation service
