Hi there, I haven't use that much of softwares for that purpose but one I kept using for a long time since I discovered it some years ago is resume.io which suits my needs as I had to make two CV in the past. If you do not want to go in a whole development of your CV I highly recommend it. It is a paid service but really worth the money.
Now I just keep a GitHub private repository with all my CVs that I made in HTML, CSS (MaterializeCSS) & JavaScript (Elm). It is just easier for me to update it since I do web development as a daily basis.
Funny you mention that; over the weekend I had the insane idea of implementing my CV as a Flask API that returns JSON because I was bored and thought it'd be a funny weekend project "Resume as a Service"; wouldn't submit it as a resume but I have thought about tossing it at a hiring manager if during an interview they asked for code samples.
Software developer by day, amateur Crossfitter by night (rather evenings...). Here for networking, collaborations and motivation to develop my own blog page.
Latex + git & bitbucket works for me! I create release branches for each job application and track my application status with tickets on my Trello board.
I build software and work with software teams to improve workflows, communication, and best practices. If you'd like to work together, please get in touch!
I use Notion.so for this (and for dozens of other things). When I'm sending out a new version, I'll just make a copy and tailor it a little bit. That leaves me with an archive that I can look through later when a similar job comes up.
I see a few comments here mention using web dev tools to create PDF/HTML documents. Personally, I like using Notion because I don't need to worry about other things like how to structure a JSON file, or the best way to deploy a different version for a different job. It's simple, and it looks good. Employers are only going to spend a couple minutes looking at it anyway - if they want to get a sense of my programming skills, they can look at my github profile or projects I have linked to.

I use canva.com. Easy PDF export and customization. Super userfriendly and it's free.
I recently used jsonresume and was quite happy with it. You can enter your data in json and then choose from existing templates or create your own :)
Although it lacks quite a few customization features.

I have a git repo setup with branches for each application I send so I can see the versions :)
