About

Doxygen is an open-source documentation generator that creates reference documentation from annotated source code and supports languages including C++, C#, PHP, Java, Python, IDL, Fortran, and D.

It extracts documentation from specially formatted comments, generates output in HTML, PDF, LaTeX, RTF, and man page formats, creates dependency and collaboration diagrams through Graphviz integration, and can generate documentation from undocumented source code by analyzing program structure.

GitBook is a cloud-based documentation platform for creating and publishing product documentation, API references, and knowledge bases.

It provides a collaborative editor with Markdown and rich formatting, structured navigation and versioning, AI-powered features such as GitBook Agent and embedded AI assistants for writing help and query answering, automatic generation of LLMs.txt for large language models, and integrations with GitHub, GitLab and other tools.
