doco aims to become a reasonable documentation generator for comprehensively documented JavaScript code.

It might be for you, if...

• you are comfortable with documenting every single exposed variable and function, like for Closure Compiler.
• you use GitHub a lot and would love to have some markdown documentation.

So, what's the current state?

• It parses comments including the following variable or function declaration.
• It parses Closure Compiler-like type annotations.
• It creates a reflected tree structure of all the comments, tags and types.
• It outputs GitHub-flavoured markdown.
• It implements node's stream interface for interoperability.

What does it not do (yet)?

• It's not yet able to split documentation into multiple files (like for inner classes etc.).
• It does not try to fully understand the code (it does not recognize any scopes).

Still interested?

• See an example
• Check the wiki
• Inspect the sources

• Try it:

  npm install -g doco
doco --gen=markdown YourClass.js > YourClass.md
