storybook
Storybook is an open-source tool for developing UI components in isolation for React, Vue, and Angular. It provides a sandbox to build UIs in isolation so you can develop hard-to-reach states and edge cases. It includes features for documenting components, which can be seen as an alternative to react-docgen's documentation generation capabilities.
typedoc
TypeDoc is a documentation generator for TypeScript projects. It operates under similar principles to react-docgen but is focused on TypeScript and can generate documentation from TypeScript annotations and comments.

JSDoc is a markup language used to annotate JavaScript source code files. Using comments containing JSDoc, you can add documentation describing the application programming interface (API) of your JavaScript code.
