Welcome to the dapi wiki.

This repository is used to enable viewing Dojo API docs via a browser and allow generating those documents to static HTML.

###Why is this needed?### Dojo is a large framework/toolkit and highly modularised, complex inheritance/mixin chains are used (e.g. prototyping) and the functionality this exports per module needs to be displayed in an appropriate manner, in a concise way, relative (e.g. versioning) and simple to discover.

The large amount of information the Dojo API provides means there needs to be a more complex user interface to easily view this information.

This has historically meant using a "tab container" for module information, a tree for the list of modules the API provides and various helper links and icons to compress the information.
