appledoc is a command-line tool that generates Apple-style documentation from Objective-C source code comments, producing HTML pages and Xcode documentation sets. It parses specially formatted comments in source files to build API documentation.
Use cases
- generate Apple-style API docs from Objective-C comments
- build Xcode docsets for an Objective-C library
- produce HTML documentation for an iOS framework
- document an Objective-C codebase for team onboarding
- integrate documentation generation into a build pipeline
When to choose
- you maintain an Objective-C or Objective-C++ codebase and want Apple-style docs
- you need Xcode-installable documentation sets generated from source comments
- you want docs that stay in sync with inline code comments
When to avoid
- your project is written in Swift (use Swift DocC instead)
- you need actively developed tooling with modern language support
- you need documentation for non-Apple platforms or non-Objective-C languages
