Overview
API documentation fails when it describes the API's structure without explaining the API's behavior. A list of endpoints with parameter types is a reference, not documentation. Developers integrating an API need to understand not just what parameters exist, but which are required for which operations, what error conditions occur and how to handle them, and what sequence of calls accomplishes a specific business task. Documentation that omits these dimensions forces developers to learn by trial and error — at the cost of your API's adoption.
The API Documentation Framework produces documentation that answers every question a competent developer would have when integrating the API for the first time, without needing to contact the API team for clarification.
