# sphinx-autodoc2
[](https://github.com/chrisjsewell/sphinx-autodoc2)
[](https://pypi.org/project/sphinx-autodoc2/)
`sphinx-autodoc2` is a Sphinx extension that automatically generates API documentation for your Python packages.
Static analysis of Python code
: There is no need to install your package to generate the documentation, and `sphinx-autodoc2` will correctly handle `if TYPE_CHECKING` blocks and other typing only features.
: Sphinx parse warnings correctly point to the source code line, and not the generated documentation.
: You can even document packages from outside the project (via `git clone`)!
Integrated API documentation generation
: Document genration is integrated with the Sphinx build process, rather than requiring the separate `sphinx-apidoc` CLI tool.
Optimized for rebuilds
: Analysis of packages and file rendering are cached, so you can use `sphinx-autodoc2` in your development workflow.
Support for `__all__`
: `sphinx-autodoc2` can follow `__all__` variable, to only document the public API.
Support for both `rst` and `md` docstrings
: `sphinx-autodoc2` supports both `rst` and `md` ([MyST](https://myst-parser.readthedocs.io)) docstrings, which can be mixed within the same project.
Highly configurable
: `sphinx-autodoc2` is highly configurable, with many options to control the analysis and output of the documentation.
Decoupled analysis and rendering
: The analysis and rendering of the documentation are decoupled, and not dependent on Sphinx.
: This means that you can use `sphinx-autodoc2` to generate documentation outside of Sphinx (see the `autodoc2` command line tool).
