Jazzy vs JSON Schema for Humans
Both stand on documentation generators. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.
Choose Jazzy for API references from Swift or Objective-C inputs, especially when HTML, Dash docsets, or versioned documentation fit the workflow. Linux SwiftPM users need to prepare SourceKitten separately, and symbol-graph mode limits exposed comments to public declarations.
Visit JazzyJSON Schema for Humans offers several ways to turn schemas into static documentation, including offline HTML and Markdown publishing. Review its documented unsupported features before relying on it for schemas that use property names and size, dependencies, or media.
