- AI-Enabled Suggestions: Offers AI-driven suggestions to enhance the quality and clarity of the documentation.
- Interactive API Playground: Allows users to make requests and preview API endpoints directly within the documentation.
- Response Examples: Automatically generates examples of API responses to help users understand what to expect from API calls.
- Customizable Page Designs: Enables tailoring of documentation pages to match brand look and feel.
- Analytics: Provides built-in insights into page views, search analytics, and session recordings.
- Versioning: Supports management of different documentation iterations for historical accuracy and multiple API versions.
