Google has a uniform documentation of all its apis. I wonder what documentation generator does it use and is it available for public use. It has good TOC and other features. Also the code appears neat.

Can anyone shed more light on this?

I am not 100% sure but i think they are using Doxygen.Doxygen is a documentation system for C++, C,Java, Objective-C, Python, IDL (Corba and Microsoft flavors) and to some extent PHP, C#, and D.If you are working on Linux/Unix then you also generate pdf files as well.Many companies are using this. To know more Doxygen

    What makes you think they're using Doxygen? I know Doxygen's output is somewhat flexible (and you can add new formats), but I've never seen it generate documentation even vaguely like Google's. – Matthew Flaschen Dec 31 '10 at 08:43
