docc2json

Apple DocC generates rich documentation, but its JSON output is tightly coupled to Apple’s own renderer and difficult to reuse for custom documentation sites or tooling. docc2json is a fast Go CLI that parses DocC output (.doccarchive or processed docs folders) and converts it into a clean, structured JSON schema designed for SDK documentation outside Xcode. It focuses on: • reconstructing real method signatures • extracting complete documentation (abstracts, discussions, examples) • resolving cross-references between symbols • filtering access levels and stdlib noise • producing a schema that’s easy to render, search, and analyze The goal isn’t to replace DocC it’s to treat DocC as a source format and make the data usable elsewhere. • Parses DocC JSON output from .doccarchive or docs/data • Generates a clean SDK-oriented JSON schema • Reconstructs method signatures from DocC tokens • Extracts abstracts, discussions, examples, and code listings • Filters public API symbols (--public-only) • Automatic Swift / Obj-C protocol unmangling • Smart filtering of stdlib protocols (Sendable, Equatable, etc.) • Optional inclusion of articles and tutorials • Flexible type grouping (prefix-based or YAML config) • Fast parallel parsing (tens of thousands of files in <1s)
