What is an interface document and how to write a good interface document
The interface document is an important part of a software system, which describes all the interfaces that can be used by external applications in the system. To put it simply, the interface document is a guideline used to help developers develop and interface with the system.
In the process of software development, data interaction and information transmission are required between different systems, which requires the system to provide some open interfaces.
There are also many presentation forms of interface documents, such as: Swagger, Word, PDF, Postman, open platform documents, etc. Different presentation forms provide different carriers to present interface documents, but the final key is the content itself.
A clear, detailed and accurate interface document is the key to whether the development team can accurately understand and use the system interface.
In short, a good interface document should cover all interface usage scenarios, be detailed but not lengthy, and be convenient for developers to quickly find and use. For different display forms, developers need to choose the most suitable display method according to the needs of the project and the development process, so as to improve development efficiency and work quality.
Swagger interface documentation
Swagger is a set of tools for designing, building, recording and using RESTful API. It can automatically generate API documentation and provide interactive UI, which can greatly improve development efficiency and collaboration efficiency. It supports multiple programming languages and frameworks, and can generate multiple presentation forms, such as tools such as Swagger UI, Swagger Editor, and Swagger Codegen. At the same time, Swagger also provides powerful API management functions, including API monitoring, debugging, testing and security, etc., which can help developers better manage and maintain APIs.
