Is there any API Document Browser like Dash on Ubuntu?

Question

I've seen my friend enjoy using Dash, in which you could look up all kinds of language document, Java, c#, Android, Javascript, JQuery, etc. That makes life much much more easier!! Does Anyone knows if there's alternative on Ubuntu? I search desperately but no

Dash: Code snippet manager and Cocoa documentation browser.

Solution 1

You might want to check out Zeal. I just started implementing it this weekend. It's intended to be a documentation browser like Dash, working on Linux.

Here is a screenshot:

Solution 2

Perhaps devdocs.io would be an option. It is also available as app extension for google chrome.

Solution 3

devhelp may help you

Devhelp is an API documentation browser for GTK+ and GNOME. It works natively with gtk-doc (the API reference framework developed for GTK+ and used throughout GNOME for API documentation). If you use gtk-doc with your project, you can use Devhelp to browse the documentation.

Solution 4

For JQuery there is JQAPI. You can even install it as package!

$ sudo apt-get install jquery-alternative-doc

Then browse to this file in your browser.

file:///usr/share/doc/jquery-alternative-doc/index.html

This doesn't really answer the OP. Dash is a native desktop client that provides useful search features, and it downloads docsets or uses local docsets.

Didn't know Zeal. Looks promising, very dash-like, although it lacks the snippets functionallity.
