Is there any API Document Browser like Dash on Ubuntu?

I've seen my friend enjoy using Dash, in which you could look up all kinds of language document, Java, c#, Android, Javascript, JQuery, etc. That makes life much much more easier!! Does Anyone knows if there's alternative on Ubuntu? I search desperately but no

You might want to check out https://github.com/jkozera/zeal. I just started implementing it this weekend. It's intended to be a documentation browser like Dash, working on Linux.

devhelp may help you

Devhelp is an API documentation browser for GTK+ and GNOME. It works natively with gtk-doc (the API reference framework developed for GTK+ and used throughout GNOME for API documentation). If you use gtk-doc with your project, you can use Devhelp to browse the documentation.

For Ruby, Rails and some other ruby gems you could use http://railsapi.com/. You can use it online or download. For JQuery there is http://jqapi.com/. You can even install it as package!

sudo apt-get install jquery-alternative-doc

then browse to file:///usr/share/doc/jquery-alternative-doc/index.html in your browser.
