9 Components of Great Developer and API Documentation

Great developer documentation is essential for attracting and retaining users. It requires a different mindset and skill set than coding but can be achieved by incorporating nine key components: a clear home page, a getting started guide, simple explainers, compelling use cases, language-specific documentation, a simple layout, interactive, compilable code, repetition, and screenshots. By providing accessible and engaging documentation, companies can turn it into an effective marketing tool that drives growth and user engagement.
