About

DocFX is an open-source static site generator for .NET API documentation that builds developer documentation websites from source code comments and Markdown files.

It provides customizable templates, generates API references from C#, F#, and Visual Basic projects, can use additional documentation sources including Swagger files, supports richer Markdown syntax with extensions, and includes built-in workflows for publishing generated documentation to GitHub Pages and Azure Websites.

Scalar is an open-source platform for creating API documentation with an interactive playground, built around the OpenAPI standard.

It provides interactive documentation that doubles as a full-featured API client, a fully offline-first REST API client, a versioned API registry with Git sync, type-safe SDK generation for multiple languages, and extensive theming and customization options.
