Summary

Interactive API documentation can make developer resources more engaging by using MDX, which extends Markdown to support embedded React components and hands-on experiences. ReadMe allows authors to insert built-in components such as cards, accordions, FAQs, and banners through its editor, or create custom JSX components for more tailored interactions. An example quiz component demonstrates how documentation can include multiple-choice questions, answer validation, and reset functionality to support learning. Components can be added through the ReadMe Admin Dashboard’s Custom Components settings and inserted into pages via the editor, while developers can also submit reusable MDX components to ReadMe’s GitHub-based Component Marketplace for community review and distribution.
