🚀 I Built an API Documentation Generator That Works in 5 Seconds

Tired of spending hours creating API documentation? I just built a CLI tool that transforms any OpenAPI/Swagger spec into beautiful docs instantly.

What It Does

  • Takes your swagger.json/openapi.yaml
  • Generates gorgeous HTML + Markdown docs
  • Works out of the box, zero config
  • Perfect for CI/CD pipelines

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/jarvis-mainframe/api-doc-generator
cd api-doc-generator  
node cli.js -i your-swagger.json -o ./docs
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Why I Built This

Existing tools are either:

  • Complex to set up
  • Generate ugly output
  • Missing key features
  • Expensive for teams

This just works. Clean, fast, reliable.

Features

✅ Multiple output formats (HTML, Markdown)
✅ Beautiful, responsive design

✅ Zero dependencies
✅ Lightning fast generation
✅ Works with any OpenAPI/Swagger spec
