A DSL and Rails engine for documenting RESTful APIs by describing code through Ruby, not comments.
What is Apipie?
Apipie-rails is a Ruby on Rails engine and DSL for generating and maintaining API documentation. It allows developers to describe RESTful API endpoints using Ruby code within controllers, producing live documentation that can be used for validation and exported as JSON or Swagger specifications. It solves the problem of outdated or separate documentation by keeping it integrated with the codebase.
Ruby on Rails developers building RESTful APIs who need maintainable, integrated documentation and validation. Teams looking for a solution that combines documentation with code to reduce duplication and improve accuracy.
