YANG model documentation generator

YANG
1

Hello. Does anyone know of any documentation generators which will process a YANG model and produce formatted documentation output?

I suppose I want a doxygen-like tool but for YANG models.

I do not know of any doxygen-like document generator. The only thing I can think of now is to take a look at pyang (-f FORMAT option). It is possible to write own pyang plugin, which can generate documentation as you need.

Thank you for your answer

Perhaps the IETF way of documenting their standard YANG models is a good reference. See for example the ACL one from March 2019 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8519

Main components are always the YANG model itself and a YANG tree diagram that you can generate using:

$ pyang -f tree my-model.yang

or ConfD’s

$ yanger -f tree my-model.yang

The RFC for the YANG tree diagram can be found here: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8340
