How can one download Mozilla's developer's documentation for offline reading?


Until recently, one could conveniently download Mozilla's developer's documentation, developer.mozilla.org.tar.gz, for offline reading. However, Mozilla seems to have upgraded the documentation to a new, SQL-based format, abandoning the old TAR.GZ.

One does not doubt that such an upgrade is good, but I do not understand the upgrade, so now I am confused. How should I now read Mozilla's developer's documentation offline?

    Offline MDN Docs

    You can download the MDN docs using the table below. Before downloading, please consider using a documentation browsing app like Dash (macOS), Velocity (Windows) or Zeal (Linux) instead. These apps will help you get the most out of the docs, by providing a search index and quick access to everything you need.
