A Laravel/Lumen package that automatically generates API documentation from your application's routes using annotations and strategies, outputting static HTML or Blade views plus a Postman collection. It runs via the `php artisan apidoc:generate` command and is extensible through custom strategy plugins.

Use cases

• generate API documentation from Laravel routes
• create a Postman collection from my Laravel API
• document Lumen API endpoints automatically
• produce static HTML docs for a Laravel REST API
• extract request parameters and sample responses from controller doc blocks

When to choose

• you have a Laravel or Lumen (or Dingo-based) API and want docs generated from route definitions and annotations
• you want an importable Postman collection generated alongside your docs
• you want customizable documentation generation via strategy plugins

When to avoid

• your project is not built on Laravel/Lumen/Dingo
• you need OpenAPI/Swagger-first spec authoring rather than annotation-driven generation
• you need a framework-agnostic PHP documentation tool
