Does automated README generation work with Python and JavaScript projects?

Automated README generation supports multi-language repositories including Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, PHP, and Swift, analyzing language-specific types and functions to export accurate documentation.

Can I generate license blocks and architecture sections automatically?

Automated documentation generation outputs license blocks and architecture sections by extracting project name, version, and file structure directly from the source code during the analysis phase.

What is the best way to create consistent English and Chinese documentation?

Generating bilingual READMEs from codebases ensures consistent English and Chinese documentation by automatically extracting project details and outputting both README.md and README.zh.md files simultaneously.

How to generate a complete doc set including a doc directory from a codebase?

Code analysis for documentation generates a main bilingual README alongside a detailed doc directory structure, extracting functions and dependencies to provide comprehensive project guidance.

Do I need to manually write project structure details for automated documentation?

Automated documentation generation requires no manual structure input; it automatically extracts the file structure, types, and dependencies from the source code to generate the complete doc set.
