Absolutely! BTW, my plan was to eventually directly use a (your ;-) D parser instead of the JSON output to get around various issues (e.g. displaying alias names instead of raw types or avoiding to lose other information due to the type mangling of the JSON output)

I thought about doing that as well, but hacking DDox and DMD took much less time for what we needed to do.

I ended up running into a few other issues with the JSON approach (one of them being that nobody ever merged my pull request), so I wrote this: https://github.com/economicmodeling/harbored

Do you accept pull requests for the libraries to add DUB package support? And would you be willing to add version tags from time to time, so that it can be properly registered on code.dlang.org?

It looks like dparser should be easy to integrate in an alternative parser for DDOX, but it needs to stay compatible with a DUB based build process.

BTW, seems like there are a few open comments in the pull request, which is probably why it hasn't been merged, yet.

[Hackerpilot]

Yes. I've already accepted one pull request for Dub support.

I've added a first draft of a libdparse based doc parser to DDOX (parses only functions, classes and interfaces and types so far). It's an optional dependency for now, but if you have some time, it would be nice to have the libdparse repository registered on code.dlang.org.

BTW, thanks for your big efforts with the D lexer and parser! I'm sure having this in the standard library will be another key building block for D's future development.
