jQAPI - Alternative jQuery Documentation

jQAPI is an alternative interface for browsing jQuery documentation that prioritizes speed and usability through static pages powered by Astro, fast Ajax-based navigation, and instant search filtering. Created in 2010 and revamped multiple times since, the current 2023 version features keyboard navigation, in-browser live examples, and code highlighting, with mobile support and offline browsing coming soon. The project has maintained an active user base over its thirteen-year history and was rebuilt after a hosting migration because users requested its return.

eBay Trading Web Services

This is a categorized index of eBay Trading API calls organized by function, including standard listing operations, order management, offers and leads, buyer-seller communication, metadata retrieval, user account management, and eBay Stores operations. Each category groups related API calls that serve a specific purpose in the eBay selling and buying workflow, from creating and managing listings to processing orders and communicating with other members. The index serves as a navigation tool to help developers find the appropriate API calls for their specific needs rather than searching through an alphabetical list.

CFCDoc revamped

CFCDoc Revamped is an improved ColdFusion documentation generator that creates real-time Javadoc-style HTML documentation from CFC (ColdFusion Component) files, with support for CF8's cfInterface tag. The tool reorganizes and cleans up code structure while adding features like lazy-loading for large component packages and server-specific root configuration. As of March 2008, development shifted to a Java command-line version, making version 0.42 a maintenance release.

URL Access

SQL Server Reporting Services allows you to access and customize reports through URL requests by appending parameters that control rendering format, viewer appearance, and report values. The URL structure consists of the report server web service URL, the path to the specific report, and optional prefixed parameters (using rs: or rc: prefixes) or unprefixed report parameters separated by ampersands, enabling you to share preconfigured report links with specific parameter values, languages, or output formats.
