SourceBrowser
A static HTML website generator for browsing C#, VB, MSBuild, and TypeScript source code with rich navigation features.
What is SourceBrowser?
SourceBrowser is a static website generator that creates browsable HTML representations of source code repositories. It analyzes C#, VB, MSBuild, and TypeScript code using Roslyn to produce hyperlinked, syntax-highlighted HTML files, enabling web-based code exploration without an IDE. It solves the problem of making source code publicly accessible and navigable online, similar to reference documentation sites.
Developers and teams who want to publish their C#, VB, MSBuild, or TypeScript codebases as interactive websites for public or internal reference. It's particularly useful for open-source projects, documentation sites, and enterprises hosting internal code portals.
Developers choose SourceBrowser because it provides IDE-like navigation features (e.g., Go to Definition, Find All References) in a static website format, is built on reliable Microsoft tooling (Roslyn), and can be self-hosted. Its ability to handle multiple project types and generate fully linked HTML without a database simplifies deployment and maintenance.
