redoc VS tsdoc

ReDoc Interactive Demo

ReDoc focuses on simplicity and readability, presenting the API documentation in a user-friendly format. It supports dark mode, multiple languages, and offers a seamless browsing experience for API consumers.

There are a few other tools out there that are at least marginally better than the default Swagger UI such as ReDoc (https://github.com/Redocly/redoc).

When we redid the Mux docs (https://docs.mux.com/api-reference) we actually just decided to build our own renderer. It really wasn't as bad as you might think, at build time we pull in the JSON version of our OAS spec and render it as a static build in our Nextjs app. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't trivial, but the benefit of having complete control over the output has been well worth it.

ReDoc is a tool that's similar to Swagger UI. It also takes an OAS and renders an interactive HTML page with full API documentation details; however, it has a notable difference.

take a look

Redoc is an open source tool to generate API reference documentation websites from OpenAPI definitions.

FastAPI for Python has an awesome way of doing this. It comes with two choices: Swagger and Redoc, the former being more interactive while the latter is (IMO) more visually appealing. I'm sure you could implement one of these using Spring.

Starlite has substantially enhanced OpenAPI (3.1) documentation - in fact, its the most complete autogenerated schema around, and it ships with Redoc, Swagger-UI and Stoplight-Elements static sites.

For what it’s worth, there’s also TSDoc[1] which is TypeScript’s sorta-equivalent spiritual successor, and notably uses the same format as JSDoc. Inline type annotation is great—and I vastly prefer it to JSDoc as a type annotation mechanism—but supporting the breadth of documentation capability in an inline code position would probably be unwieldy no matter how you try to accommodate it.

Docs? TSdoc + TypeDoc or DocFX. Of particular interest, this can be used to generate JSON schema's, useful for REST / GraphQL

Nope, they look the same, at a glance, but they're not the same. JSDoc and TSDoc are different standards, developed by different teams.

JSDoc is a terrible standard. I would rather go for TypeScript + TSDoc, then use TypDoc to generate the actual documentation based on TS typings. Alternatively, you can go for Vue Styleguidist. It's an excellent tool, but, opposite to TSDoc it's not a standard, it's just a tool.

I am trying to use the @microsoft/tsdoc package to generate documentation for a given file. I followed the demo that hey have provided https://github.com/microsoft/tsdoc/tree/main/api-demo and it works for the sample input they provided, shown below.

Maybe this is of interest? https://tsdoc.org/

Awesome, thank you! Would you be willing to support TSDoc ?
