YARD is useful even if the target source code does not contain explicit comments. YARD will still parse the classes, modules, and methods, and list them in the generated API files.

YARD extends upon the capabilities of RDoc in a number of dimensions:

  • extensibility
  • modularity
  • parsing

Dan Kubb has created an ancillary tool, named Yardstick, which verifies YARD (or RDoc) documentation coverage.
