Fluorite
Fluorite is an easy-to-use API documentation generator, built to allow rapid development of API documentations (RESTful and other types of APIs) while being flexible in design.
Fluorite encourages modular structures, therefore, the documentation is made of different files grouped together as sections through a JSON configuration file named flconfig.json. Files are either JSON files (for documenting RESTful APIs) or pure Markdown (for other documentations,) all loaded into one or more HTML pages to form the documentation.
Fluorite is also flexible in design through themes. Each theme decides on the documentation layout and can even define extra features using the provided utility libraries, independent of any pre-defined mechanism. You can easily make your own themes using the Handlebars templating language and have your documentations look exactly the same as your website/web app.
