The MariaDB Plugin API has Doxygen Documentation Now!

MariaDB now has an official Doxygen-generated reference for its Server Plugin API, published at mariadb.com/docs/server/reference/plugins/api-plugin. The docs are built by scraping XML output from the include/mysql/ source files with Doxygen, converting it to Markdown via Moxygen, and syncing it into GitBook through GitHub actions. Developers can build it locally with the cmake flag -DWITH_GENERATED_DOCS=yes, run a standalone script, or use the ghcr.io/mariadb/mariadb-doc-gen Docker container. Every night, a GitHub action regenerates the docs and opens a pull request if they differ from what's published, and pull requests touching include/mysql/ automatically trigger doc generation. Georgi Kodinov calls this just a starting point and is asking for contributions and feedback on what server internals to document next.
