πŸš€ 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

βœ… Multiple output formats (HTML, Markdown)
βœ… Beautiful, responsive design

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