TypeDoc is a documentation generator for TypeScript projects. It converts TypeScript source code into readable HTML documentation. TypeDoc supports various documentation styles, including JSDoc-style comments. It analyzes type definitions, interfaces, classes, and functions to generate comprehensive documentation that helps developers understand and use TypeScript libraries and applications effectively. It facilitates API exploration and improves code maintainability by providing a clear and structured view of project internals.
TypeDoc's release frequency has varied since its inception. It began with multiple releases per month in 2014, stabilized with fewer releases in the following years. There were peaks in early 2020 and 2021. Since then it has continued at a more gradual pace with occasional pauses. The most recent release was in August 2025.
Typedoc's npm package downloads show a strong upward trend overall. From February 2024 to August 2025, downloads increased significantly, peaking in June 2025. August 2025 shows a notable dip, but it is not yet a complete month's data.
