Case Study - Probably the nicest API documentation website you’ve ever seen

Overview

API documentation has never been fun. It's often accomplished by turning monotonously written files into boring templates. However, with a unique and useful website specifically designed for this purpose, this tediousness can be transformed into fun.

This website should be attractive and fast. Furthermore, the data format used in the files to document the API should be easy to read and edit. In this case study, we used Markdown, which is both easy to learn and flexible.

On a website specialized for API documentation, supporting both dark and light modes is crucial for users to easily read the content. Search functionality is also crucial on such a website, as many users rely on this functionality to find what they're looking for. It's also important to get user feedback, so that potential deficiencies or errors can be identified and corrected more quickly.
