pdoc is a zero-configuration documentation generator that auto-generates API documentation for Python projects from docstrings and type annotations. It renders Markdown docstrings into HTML, supports numpydoc and Google-style docstrings, and includes a live-reloading web server for previewing docs.

Use cases

  • generate api documentation for a python package
  • render docstrings as html docs
  • document a python library with type annotations
  • preview python docs with live reload
  • export python api docs to static html for github pages
  • convert google-style or numpydoc docstrings to documentation

When to choose

  • you want zero-config API docs for a Python project
  • your docstrings are Markdown, Google-style, or numpydoc
  • you want first-class type annotation support and cross-linking
  • you need a live-reloading docs preview server

When to avoid

  • you need multi-language documentation beyond Python
  • you want a full docs site with tutorials and guides (consider MkDocs or Sphinx)
  • you need reStructuredText docstring support
