kinlane-productions2.s3.amazonaws.com ![](http://kinlane-productions.s3.amazonaws.com/api-service-providers/mashape-documentor-261x300.png)The [Mashape Documentor](http://www.magdev.de/mashape-documentor/ "Mashape Documentor") is an engine for automatically generating a mobile version of documentation for any API running on the [Mashape API Platform](http://www.mashape.com/ "Mashape API Platform").

Using PHP, the Mashape Documenter reads the api.xml for a Mashape API, then generates a mobile version of the documentation in HTML5, CSS3, and Jquery.

You can drop the script into the root of an API, where the api.xml is located,customize the header and footer of the mobile interface and your up and running.
