RST Viewer API for Android - View reStructuredText Files
An RST file contains reStructuredText, the plain-text markup language of the Python Docutils project. It is the source format of Sphinx, which builds the official Python documentation and thousands of other project manuals, so RST files fill the docs folders of countless repositories beside README and changelog files.
Raw markup is convenient for writing and hard to read on a phone. GroupDocs.Viewer Cloud renders RST sources over a REST API, and the output arrives in HTML, PDF, JPG or PNG form, so an Android app shows formatted documentation rather than literal directives and underlined headings. Long manuals stay readable through page navigation and zoom, and one page can be fetched when a single section matters.
An SDK for Java, declared in a Gradle or Maven build, includes worked samples that get the first render running, and the API Explorer answers test calls in a browser. Over 180 formats belong to one integration, so the viewer that serves documentation also serves the PDFs and spreadsheets beside it. A free trial covers early work, and the free online GroupDocs.Viewer app displays an individual RST file with no code involved.
