API Documentation

Abstract

Application Programming Interface (API) is packed functionality to solve specific tasks. In order for developers to learn to use its functionality, APIs include some kind of documentation. Documentation is an important part of the API itself, but, providing high-quality documentation is not a straightforward task. Nowadays, most of the documentation does not include the information expected by users. Another problem is the lack of comprehensive evaluation methods that can help creator to identify missing or incomplete elements in their documentation.
