This is example API documentation that I put together as I worked through Tom Johnson’s terrific course on documenting REST APIs.
The basis for this documentation is this fictional wiki. I wanted to try a simple tri-pane tool, so I used Whiteboard to generate a neat and organized API doc set with code samples.
Whiteboard is a Node.js-based API docs generator that uses Markdown files to render the documentation. I originally wanted to use Slate, but I had trouble with the convoluted setup process that Whiteboard’s creator mentions in the project README.md.
If you’re curious, here’s the same doc set as a GitHub wiki written in rST (link to one of my GitHub repositories).
