ESDoc is a documentation generator for JavaScript that produces static HTML API docs from doc comments, targeting ES2015 class and module syntax. It measures documentation coverage, integrates test code and manuals into docs, and is extensible via a plugin architecture.
Use cases
- generate api documentation for an es6 javascript library
- measure documentation coverage of my codebase
- integrate test code into api docs
- generate html docs from jsdoc-style comments
- document es2015 classes without writing many tags
- host javascript api documentation online
When to choose
- your codebase uses ES2015 class and module syntax
- you want documentation coverage metrics and test integration
- you prefer fewer tags thanks to syntax-aware parsing
When to avoid
- your code is prototype-based or ES3/ES5 style
- you need a tool with frequent updates and modern ecosystem support
- you need first-class TypeScript support
