DoxyPressApp

Introduction

DoxyPress is a modern C++ application for generating documentation from annotated sources and API documentation.
DoxyPressApp is a GUI application used to configure the JSON project file and run DoxyPress.

DoxyPress and DoxyPressApp were initially derived from Doxygen and DoxyWizard.

Major Enhancements

Parsing

• User selection for full parsing of C and C++ with clang in lieu of the legacy lex parser
• Clang parser allows complicated modern C++ to be parsed accurately, especially as C++ is updated
• Added a new parser for makefiles*

Classes and Containers

• DoxyPress links with the CopperSpice libraries
• Removed all obsolete classes and containers
• Refactored to use value based containers instead of pointer based containers
• For improved memory management variadic templates and shared pointers are used
• Source code reformatted for improved readability
• Modified source code to use modern C++ functionality, features, and syntax

Output

• Project file format enhanced to use a JSON format for improved functionality
• Command line option to convert Doxygen project files to the DoxyPress format
• Enhanced layout file to include new sections
• Improved html output for correctness
