Everyone appreciates good documentation -- when they need it, anyway -- but creating and maintaining that documentation sure feels like a chore sometimes. I've been researching Web API documentation tools for a few projects, recently, and thought you might find a roundup of current options interesting. Traditionally, creating useful API documentation involved a lot of manual labor. The old publishing problems are for the most part behind us -- online documentation has been the standard for a while, now -- and automated API extraction from your code base has been possible for more than a decade. But, in my experience anyway, the tools available until very recently only provided a bare scaffold of your programming interface. The job of filling in any detail at all was up to your technical writers, if you were lucky and had any, or your development team if you were running lean. We could move pretty quickly through an interface's docs back in the day, but it still took time to review, write, edit and publish, even for small changes. Today, we have a new generation of tools focused on documenting Web APIs that, frequently, integrate directly into your code base and build processes to create attractive, useful views into your API endpoints and that are always in sync with your latest code changes. Let's take a look, with a particular focus on tools for .NET development when they're available.
