I believe that for every developer, it is not like rote API, some of the commonly used methods we can Xinshou or interface directly in a pinch, or the direct use development tools, automatic code hints, can quickly find the API they want to use, and if he had never been used, you can also see the API documentation Quguan network. However, different languages, different tools, each time forget the API or command, you need to check if temporary, this intermediate need much time to waste ah.
So, I'm going to tell you about four API tool today.
1.Dash
Only supports mac and iPhone, using the experience I do not know, because there is no mac used, but the wall cracked recommend you to try!
官网对它的定义是：Dash is an API Documentation Browser and Code Snippet Manager. Dash stores snippets of code and instantly searches offline documentation sets for 200+ APIs, 100+ cheat sheets and more. You can even generate your own docsets or request docsets to be included.
Up to now it supports API documentation are:
不仅如此，Dash integrates with package managers to generate documentation sets for anything you might need, as well as provide custom documentation sources of its own.
That means you can customize the API documentation
There are even more powerful, Amazing Integration Plugins (integrated plug-in support, which support specific plug-ins, please visit the official website!) Basically can be said to cover the commonly used development tools! ! ! Very conscience, if supported Windows, then so much the better!
For more information, please see the official website
2.Zeal
Of course, Windows party not to lose heart. After all, some of which is basically mac software, Windows platform can also find the appropriate alternatives. Zeal is one of a. Zeal for everyone to look at the user interface.
API documentation is left offline, you can add your own new API documentation, of course, also supports the search for specific classes, methods, commands and so on.
You even can also specify the method in which a corresponding document search inside. For example,
It is not very convenient! ! !
3.Velocity
dash lower velocity and Zeal are the same as Windows platform alternative use interface about it, but it seems a bit more with zeal, and so this would compare yourselves.
4.devdocs.io
In fact, this is not strictly speaking an offline API tool. Because it is essentially a website, but it offline, you can download it corresponds browser plug-ins, and then configure the offline documentation,
You can see, my search elasstring, it returns the corresponding result, there is no easy! ! ! It supports a variety of fuzzy query, very powerful tool.
The advantage is very clear, that is not installed, you can directly open the site see all the API (Similarly, you need to manage API documentation you need to), you do not even have to open other programs.
The disadvantage is that it supports the API is relatively small, but still acceptable! ! !
