"My encounters with PHPDocumentor"

4.5/5

What do you like best about phpDocumentor?

- Ease of use

- Direct documentation generation from code & source comments visibility

- Direct connection to the class/namespace hierarchy

- I've doung the UML generation feature to be quite useful as we use modeling tools

- Relatively easy configuration even for legacy projects & drop-in support via PHARs (nice!)

- I like the fact that you stand by your code by generating your own docs with PHPDocumentor Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about phpDocumentor?

I've found it a bit hard to control how things are organized in the end result. For e.g. custom ordering of classes/namespaces would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is phpDocumentor solving and how is that benefiting you?

Problems overall:

We have been able to show our in-code documentation externally - to our devepolers or contractors.

We have been able to preview our modeling approach at dev time

We have been able to show/explain architecture to new hires

Benefits:

Helps with modeling

Helps with the on-boarding process

Helps with ensuring that our projects are well documented Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
