Sami is a PHP API documentation generator that parses PHP source code and produces static HTML documentation, famously used for the Symfony API docs. It supports versioned documentation from Git tags and configurable themes.
Use cases
- generate API documentation from PHP source code
- create versioned docs for multiple releases of a PHP library
- produce static HTML class reference like the Symfony API
- document a PHP project from Git tags and branches
When to choose
- you maintain a legacy PHP 7 project already configured with Sami
- you want Symfony-style API documentation with Git version support
When to avoid
- starting a new PHP documentation project - it is officially unmaintained
- you need PHP 8 support or active community support
- consider alternatives like phpDocumentor or Doctum instead
