jsdoc-api
A programmatic interface for jsdoc3 with a few features:
- Sync and async (Promise) interfaces on the two main jsdoc operations ('explain' and 'render documentation').
- Input (source code) can supplied as a string or set of file names/globs.
- Optional caching, dramatically speeding up future invocations with the same input.
