Interactive HTML documentation with search and filters

Explore DDS interfaces in an interactive HTML view with built in search, filtering and navigation.

DDS DocGen generates HTML based documentation that is easy to browse, not just read. You can filter by topic, type or field, search across the entire model and jump via hyperlinks between related elements. This makes it simple to locate specific interfaces, understand dependencies and support design and review sessions without digging through static documents.

Detailed comparison reports with smart search and filtering

See exactly what changed between your data model versions with structured comparison reports.

DocCompare analyzes two DDS configurations and generates a focused report showing added, removed and modified types, fields and attributes. You can search and filter by type, topic or change category to quickly understand the impact of a new release. This helps teams review interface changes, manage regressions and communicate updates clearly across projects and stakeholders.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about DDS DocGen and DocCompare. Learn how they automate DDS documentation, highlight interface changes, and fit into your development and CI/CD workflows – all in one place.

DDS DocGen works with standard DDS XML type definitions based on the
OMG DDS-XML specification . You can load your existing DDS XML configuration files directly, or convert IDL files to DDS-XML using your DDS vendor tools. DDS DocGen then automatically extracts the types, topics and structures needed to generate HTML, Word and PDF documentation, with no need to change your DDS setup or add proprietary annotations.
