• Preserves code examples and formatting
• Supports complex type definitions with interactive display

Installation

pip install docstring2json

Usage

python -m src.docstring2json.__main__ --package-name PACKAGE_NAME --output-dir OUTPUT_DIR

or:

docstring2json --package-name PACKAGE_NAME --output-dir OUTPUT_DIR

This will:

1. Import the specified package
2. Extract docstrings from all classes, functions, and modules
3. Write JSON files for each module with proper routing

Output Structure

The tool creates a directory structure that matches the input package:

output_dir/
  module1/
    file1/
      data.json
    file2/
      data.json
  module2/
    submodule/
      file2/
        data.json

Each data.json file contains:

• Module name and description
• Parameter descriptions with type information
• Return values and exceptions with proper formatting
• Code examples with syntax highlighting
• References and links to related documentation
