doc2json

doc2json is a utility Python script that allows us you to convert API documentation pages (as those generated by automated tools, such as javadoc) into JSON document files. doc2json currently handles API docs generated by the following tools:

• javadoc format (Java)
• dokka (Kotlin)
• scaladoc (Scala)

Installation

pip install .

Usage

doc2json --help
usage: doc2json [-h] [--language {java,kotlin,scala}] -o OUTPUT -i INPUT [--jdk-docs]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --language {java,kotlin,scala}
                        Language associated with the given API docs
  -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
                        Directory to output JSON files
  -i INPUT, --input INPUT
                        Input directory of API docs
  --jdk-docs            Indicate whether the documentation is related to JDK

Example

Parse documentation pages of the java.util Java package:

doc2json --language java -i examples/java/html-docs/java/util \
  -o json-docs --jdk-docs

The script above creates a directory named java-docs that contains all generated JSON documentents.
