Developer Documentation

Definitions

1. Documentation written to help developers understand, use, build on, or contribute to a tool, API, platform, or codebase. In culture, strong developer documentation is a sign that a team respects other people's time and cognitive load.

   In plain English: Documentation meant to help developers use or build something.

   Example: "The API finally gained adoption once the developer documentation included real examples, error cases, and a clear explanation of auth flows."
