Docland is a modern documentation generator and browser for open-source libraries. We create and host high-quality API documentations with smooth navigation, fast search and elegant UI.
Currently it supports generating for Java libraries, including the JDK (Java Development Kit) and all published libraries on Maven Central. In the future, more languages and repositories will be supported.
Why Docland?
Docland was built out of frustration to solve a problem developers face constantly -- How to find the API definition for a function or a class as quickly as possible?
API documentations are scattered everywhere on the internet. When you do a google search, SEO articles rank at the top, followed by some non-programming content, then your documentation appears -- but not the version you want.
LLMs could be helpful sometimes, giving you some explanation and nice examples, but only if your query is highly represented in the training data. Otherwise, it will either hallucinate or admit defeat (As of my knowledge cutoff, there is no ...).
Searching for API references is such a frequent process for developers that we deserve a better tool for this. Thus, we built Docland with the mission of documenting and indexing every package so that you can find API references effortlessly.
