Overview
Docbox is an open-source system for writing REST API documentation. You write structured Markdown files, and it builds a two-column site with prose on the left, examples on the right, plus navigation and permalinks. It is a React application that parses Markdown with remark. The source files stay free of presentation code, and a build step prepares the site for publishing.
Key features
- Turns structured Markdown into a two-column documentation site
- Generates navigation and permalinks automatically
- Test suite checks for broken links, invalid examples and structure problems
- Extracts JavaScript examples from docs and lints them with eslint
Best for
Teams that want to keep API docs as plain Markdown and enforce consistency through automated checks.
