Go Beyond The API.
Documentation doesn't end at the API: enhance your documentation with additional written pages.
Write tutorials, guides, and architecture documents in Markdown to help users get the most out of your code.
hdoc keeps your documents alongside your code so that they're always in sync.
Markdown makes writing documentation easy and low-friction.
CI and DevOps Ready.
Stop worrying if your documentation is up to date or not: build it with your code.
hdoc ships as a dependency-free static binary, making it easy to integrate into your CI and DevOps workflow.
Our hosting option is backed by a global CDN to give you maximum performance and security with minimum effort.
Developer Friendly.
Developers should focus on what's important instead of the minutiae of their documentation tooling.
Avoid legacy tools and thousand line configuration files. A few lines is all you need to configure hdoc.
hdoc integrates with GitHub, so you can go straight from the documentation to source code and back again.
hdoc ♥ open source.
hdoc wouldn't exist without the open source community and we want to give back.
hdoc is an open-source tool available under the AGPLv3 license. Check out the source on GitHub.
We give back to the open source community by offering free documentation hosting services.
Commercial licenses are also available.
