Zig Documentation Fetching
Instructions
- Use raw GitHub sources for std lib documentation (most reliable)
- Use pandoc for language reference from ziglang.org (works for prose content)
- The std lib HTML docs at ziglang.org are JavaScript-rendered and return empty content; avoid them
- Zig source files contain doc comments (
//!for module docs,///for item docs) that serve as authoritative documentation
Quick Reference
Fetch Standard Library Source (Recommended)
Standard library modules are self-documenting. Fetch source directly:
# Module source with doc comments
curl -sL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ziglang/zig/master/lib/std/<module>.zig"
# Common modules:
curl -sL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ziglang/zig/master/lib/std/log.zig"
curl -sL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ziglang/zig/master/lib/std/mem.zig"
curl -sL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ziglang/zig/master/lib/std/fs.zig"
curl -sL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ziglang/zig/master/lib/std/heap.zig"
curl -sL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ziglang/zig/master/lib/std/debug.zig"
curl -sL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ziglang/zig/master/lib/std/testing.zig"
Fetch Allocator Interface
curl -sL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ziglang/zig/master/lib/std/mem/Allocator.zig"
Fetch Language Reference (Prose)
# Full language reference (large, ~500KB of text)
pandoc -f html -t plain "https://ziglang.org/documentation/master/"
# Pipe to head for specific sections
pandoc -f html -t plain "https://ziglang.org/documentation/master/" | head -200
List Standard Library Contents
# List all std lib modules via GitHub API
curl -sL "https://api.github.com/repos/ziglang/zig/contents/lib/std" | jq -r '.[].name'
# List subdirectory contents
curl -sL "https://api.github.com/repos/ziglang/zig/contents/lib/std/mem" | jq -r '.[].name'
Fetch zig.guide Content
# Landing page and navigation
pandoc -f html -t plain "https://zig.guide/"
Documentation Sources
| Source | URL Pattern | Notes |
|--------|-------------|-------|
| Std lib source | raw.githubusercontent.com/ziglang/zig/master/lib/std/<path> | Most reliable; includes doc comments |
| Language reference | ziglang.org/documentation/master/ | Use pandoc; prose content |
| zig.guide | zig.guide/ | Beginner-friendly; use pandoc |
| GitHub API | api.github.com/repos/ziglang/zig/contents/lib/std | List directory contents |
Common Module Paths
| Module | Path |
|--------|------|
| Allocator | lib/std/mem/Allocator.zig |
| ArrayList | lib/std/array_list.zig |
| HashMap | lib/std/hash_map.zig |
| StringHashMap | lib/std/hash/map.zig |
| File System | lib/std/fs.zig |
| File | lib/std/fs/File.zig |
| IO | lib/std/Io.zig |
| Logging | lib/std/log.zig |
| Testing | lib/std/testing.zig |
| Debug | lib/std/debug.zig |
| Heap | lib/std/heap.zig |
| Build System | lib/std/Build.zig |
| JSON | lib/std/json.zig |
| HTTP | lib/std/http.zig |
| Thread | lib/std/Thread.zig |
| Process | lib/std/process.zig |
Version-Specific Documentation
Replace master with version tag for stable releases:
# 0.14.0 release
curl -sL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ziglang/zig/0.14.0/lib/std/log.zig"
# Language reference for specific version
pandoc -f html -t plain "https://ziglang.org/documentation/0.14.0/"
Searching Documentation
Search for specific function/type in std lib
# Search for function name across std lib
curl -sL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ziglang/zig/master/lib/std/<module>.zig" | grep -A5 "pub fn <name>"
# Example: find allocator.create
curl -sL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ziglang/zig/master/lib/std/mem/Allocator.zig" | grep -A10 "pub fn create"
Extract doc comments
# Module-level docs (//!)
curl -sL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ziglang/zig/master/lib/std/log.zig" | grep "^//!"
# Function/type docs (///)
curl -sL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ziglang/zig/master/lib/std/mem/Allocator.zig" | grep -B1 "pub fn" | grep "///"
Troubleshooting
Empty content from ziglang.org/documentation/master/std/:
- The std lib HTML docs are JavaScript-rendered; use raw GitHub instead
pandoc fails:
- Some pages require JavaScript; fall back to curl + raw GitHub
- Check URL is correct (no trailing slash issues)
Rate limiting on GitHub API:
- Use raw.githubusercontent.com URLs directly instead of API
- Cache frequently accessed content locally

GraphQL gives clients exactly the data they need - no more, no less. One endpoint, typed schema, introspection. But the flexibility that makes it powerful also makes it dangerous. Without proper controls, clients can craft queries that bring down your server. This skill covers schema design, resolvers, DataLoader for N+1 prevention, federation for microservices, and client integration with Apollo/urql. Key insight: GraphQL is a contract. The schema is the API documentation. Design it carefully.
