The ease of Markdown combined with the power of automated mock servers, tests, validations, proxies, and code samples in your language bindings. It's often hard to see how an API will be used until you have the chance to code against it. What wireframes are for UI design, a server mock is for API design. A quick way to prototype an API - even before you start writing code. Two clicks will link Apiary to a repository of your choice. It’s up to you whether you make the API Blueprint private or public and let the community contribute. We update API docs every time you commit, and we push commits to the repo whenever you update your documentation at Apiary. It's a virtuous cycle.
