Dox is a JavaScript documentation generator for Node.js that parses JSDoc-style comments and markdown to produce a JSON representation of your code's documentation. It is unopinionated about output format, letting you render the JSON with your own templates.
Use cases
- generate JSON documentation data from JSDoc comments
- parse jsdoc comments in javascript files
- build custom documentation sites from source comments
- extract api docs from node modules
- convert markdown and jsdoc comments into structured
- pipe source files through a cli to get doc metadata
When to choose
- you want raw structured documentation data rather than a fixed HTML output
- you need to build custom templates or pipelines on top of JSDoc comments
- you prefer a lightweight stdio-based CLI for doc extraction
When to avoid
- you want a complete documentation site generator with built-in themes
- you need active development or guaranteed maintenance
- you document non-JavaScript languages
