What is Natural Docs?
Natural Docs is an open-source documentation generator that creates HTML documentation from source code comments. It allows developers to write documentation in natural language that reads like plain English, then automatically scans code files to build organized, professional documentation websites. It solves the problem of maintaining up-to-date, readable documentation that stays synchronized with code changes.
Software developers and technical writers who need to generate and maintain documentation for multi-language codebases, particularly teams wanting documentation that's accessible to both technical and non-technical readers.
Developers choose Natural Docs for its natural language syntax that makes documentation more readable and maintainable, its support for multiple programming languages, and its ability to generate professional HTML output without complex markup languages.
