Swagger Editor
An editor designed for Swagger
Swagger Editor lets you edit Swagger API specifications in YAML inside your browser and to preview documentations in real time. Valid Swagger JSON descriptions can then be generated and used with the full Swagger tooling (code generation, documentation, etc). swagger-editor is a traditional npm module intended for use in single-page applications that are capable of resolving dependencies (via Webpack, Browserify, etc). swagger-editor-dist is a dependency-free module that includes everything you need to serve Swagger Editor in a server-side project, or a web project that can't resolve npm module dependencies. If you're building a single-page application, using swagger-editor is strongly recommended, since swagger-editor-dist is significantly larger. -

jsdoc-to-markdown
Generate markdown documentation from jsdoc-annotated javascript
Generates markdown API documentation from jsdoc annotated source code. Useful for injecting API docs into project README files. By default, dmd generates github-flavored markdown. Not all markdown parsers render gfm correctly. If your generated docs look incorrect on sites other than Github (e.g. npmjs.org) try enabling this option to disable Github-specific syntax. Two options to render parameter lists: 'list' or 'table' (default). Table format works well in most cases but switch to list if things begin to look crowded / squashed. By default, the output of each invocation of the main generation methods (render, getTemplateData etc) is stored in the cache (your system's temporary directory). Future jsdoc2md invocations with the same input options and source code will return the output immediately from cache, making the tool much faster/cheaper. If the input options or source code changes, fresh output will be generated. -

sassdoc
Release the docs!
SassDoc is to Sass what JSDoc is to JavaScript: a documentation system to build pretty and powerful docs in the blink of an eye. SassDoc parses your source folder to grab documentation-specific comments. From there, it builds a data tree, that gets enhanced and filtered before being passed to the view. So you end up with a fully styled HTML document. Write SassDoc-compliant comments. The syntax is pretty close to JSDoc’s although we took some liberty with it. SassDoc comes with surprisingly few configurations in itself. Most of the configuration is brought by the theme. However, you don’t have to set up a configuration file in the theme package, that would be silly. SassDoc merges the configuration file you provide (or that is being automatically fetched) with the one from the theme. If an option is set in both files, the one you set yourself overrides the one from the theme. -

a11y.css
This CSS file intends to warn developers about possible risks
This CSS file intends to warn developers about possible risks and mistakes that exist in HTML code. It can also be used to roughly evaluate a site's quality by simply including it as an external stylesheet. When activating the stylesheet, a tip should appear beside each incriminated elements, displaying what’s going on. This file is not a replacement to a complete tool such as aXe, Tanaguru or Tenon. It only intends to show possible weaknesses. You should obviously do some manual check by hand to know whether the code should or should not be fixed. You can also use the form on the left sidebar to define the minimum level and language, in order to generate a custom bookmarklet. Then simply drag the green button to your bookmarks, and you're done! You're now able to use a11y.css on every page you visit by simply clicking on this bookmark. -

ExpressJS.com
The Express.js Website
This repository contains the source for the Express web site and documentation, the canonical reference for developers using the Express framework. It organizes material into API reference, getting-started guides, best practices, and topic-focused explanations such as routing, middleware, error handling, templating, and performance. Versioned docs help readers match API behavior to the framework version they’re running, reducing confusion during upgrades. The site showcases common patterns through concise examples, making it easy to translate concepts into working code. In addition to core Express usage, the documentation surfaces ecosystem guidance on things like security headers, structured logging, and integration with view engines or ORMs. Because it is open to community contributions, the documentation evolves alongside Express itself, reflecting real-world questions and solutions. -

Office Docs PowerShell
PowerShell Reference for Office Products
This repository aggregates documentation, examples, and cmdlet references for PowerShell modules that manage Microsoft 365 and Office services. It collects guidance for admins on tasks such as Exchange Online mail flow, SharePoint site provisioning, Teams configuration, and tenant-level policy settings—often including parameter examples, common scenarios, and troubleshooting notes. The docs are structured so operators can copy/paste ready examples into their automation scripts or adapt them for bulk changes using CSV-driven loops. Because cloud management frequently involves idempotent, auditable operations, the content emphasizes safe patterns (what changes will do, UI equivalents, and rollback hints). Versioning matters here: the repository tracks changes as Microsoft updates service APIs and cmdlets, helping teams stay current and avoid deprecated workflows.
