Originally developed to support the Swagger framework, it became a separate project in 2015, overseen by the OpenAPI Initiative, an open-source collaboration project of the Linux Foundation. [2] [3] An OpenAPI Description (OAD) [4] represents a formal description of an API that tools can use to generate code, documentation, test cases, and more.
FastAPI automatically generates OpenAPI documentation for your APIs. This documentation includes both Swagger UI and ReDoc, which provide interactive API documentation that you can use to explore and test your endpoints in real time. This is particularly useful for developing, testing, and sharing APIs with other developers or users. [8]
Provides warnings if tagged parameters do not match code, parsed parameters included in XML output and Doxygen-style tagfile (-D flag in 8.7). Partial C preprocessor support with -p flag. Support for #if/#ifdef control over documentation inclusion using the -D and -U command-line flags. Imagix 4D: customizable through style sheets and CSS
Ramesh Pidikiti led implementation of the initial code generator and designer/developer Zeke Sikelianos coined the name Swagger. The Swagger API project was made open source in September 2011. Soon after release, a number of new components were added to the project, including a stand-alone validator and support for Node.js and Ruby on Rails .
An open API (often referred to as a public API) is a publicly available application programming interface that provides developers with programmatic access to a (possibly proprietary) software application or web service. [1]
In 2013, a "Write the Docs" conference for Read the Docs users was launched, which has since turned into a generic software-documentation community. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] [ 11 ] As of 2024, it continues to hold annual global conferences, organize local meetups, and maintain a Slack channel for "people who care about documentation."
MkDocs converts Markdown files into HTML pages, effectively creating a static website containing documentation.. Markdown is extensible, and the MkDocs ecosystem exploits its extensible nature through a number of extensions [2] [3] that help with for autogenerating documentation from source code, adding admonitions, writing mathematical notation, inserting footnotes, highlighting source code etc.
In software development, a documentation generator is an automation technology that generates documentation. A generator is often used to generate API documentation which is generally for programmers or operational documents (such as a manual) for end users. A generator often pulls content from source, binary or log files. [1]
