A source browser website generator that analyzes C#/VB/MSBuild/TypeScript code with Roslyn and produces a static hyperlinked HTML website for browsing source code. It powers sites like source.dot.net and referencesource.microsoft.com, with a small ASP.NET Core service for symbol search.

Use cases

  • host a browsable website for my C# codebase
  • generate static HTML source code viewer for a solution
  • self-host a code reference site like source.dot.net
  • search symbols across a large .NET codebase
  • publish hyperlinked source code for a library
  • browse .NET framework reference source offline

When to choose

  • you want a mostly static, precomputed HTML site for browsing C#/VB source
  • you need symbol search backed by a lightweight ASP.NET Core service
  • you want to replicate sites like source.dot.net for your own code

When to avoid

  • you need an actively maintained tool - the project is soft-archived (consider the tannergooding fork)
  • you need a fully static site with no server-side component, since search requires ASP.NET Core
  • you work primarily in languages other than C#/VB/TypeScript
