Summary

Docs as code refers to writing documentation using the same tools and processes that developers use to write code, enabling better collaboration, version control, and automation in documentation creation. This approach allows for smaller feedback loops, instant updates after API changes, supporting version control, efficient collaboration, and leveraging familiar tools & workflows, ultimately leading to improved documentation quality and reduced lead times. By adopting a docs as code approach, teams can streamline their documentation workflow, eliminate friction caused by proprietary tooling, and enjoy seamless autogeneration of API documentation with tools like APIMatic.
