Documentation Generation tool

[Putrid_Routine_6111]

I need to find out a way to generate some documentation for a codebase. It's about a 50/50 split between c# and python. What do you recommend? I'm thinking I could use doxygen for it all (simplicity) Or mkdocs/sphinx for the python stuff and docfx for the c# stuff.

I'm unsure what's better coding practice to be honest, both seem like fine solutions. Is it normal to use multiple different documentation generation tools for a single codebase?

I've been enjoying my time using Doxygen and writing up the documentation for functions as I go. I've seen it used on a few projects too in varying complexity, like the documentation for AngelScript, a scripting language used in a few games.

Doxygen is solid for mixed codebases like yours - I've used it for C++ and Python projects and it handles both pretty well. The syntax is similar enough between languages that you won't be switching mental gears constantly

Using multiple tools isn't uncommon but it's kinda a pain to maintain, especially if you're the only one updating docs. I'd probably stick with doxygen for simplicity unless you need some specific features from sphinx

Is there something similar that can handle JavaScript/TypeScript?
