TypeDoc

TypeDoc is a documentation generator for TypeScript projects that converts TypeScript source code into a clean, navigable HTML documentation website. It extracts type information, comments, and other metadata directly from the code, leveraging TypeScript's type system to produce accurate and detailed API documentation. It is commonly used to create professional documentation for libraries, frameworks, and applications written in TypeScript.
