duckdoc 🦆

duckdoc is a REST API documentation tool, consisting of duckdoc and duckdoc-jsoner.

Integrating duckdoc-jsoner within the testing process and prepares .json files of each endpoint based on tests of each endpoint. duckdoc then parses those files and renders to static document sites (i.e., .html).

motivation

REST API documentation is always a bunch of trivia. Especially when the project is under development and the API is evolving every build, the complaints of inconsistency between document and realistic from frontend / mobile teammates are endless.

duckdoc aims to solve this problem. Integrating documentation within the testing process ensures the correction of request and response of each endpoint.
