DeepDocs vs. Fern vs. Python vs. ReadMe Comparison Chart

Stripe-level SDKs and Docs for your API. Offer type-safe SDKs in the most popular languages. Let Fern do the heavy lifting of generating and publishing client libraries so your team can focus on building the API. Import your API definition, whether it's in OpenAPI or Fern's simpler format. Select which code generators you'd like to use: TypeScript, Python, Java, Go, Ruby, C#, Swift. Fern semantically versions and publishes packages to each registry (e.g. npm, pypi, maven). Beautiful API documentation that reflects your brand.

Give developers everything they need in a unified hub: your API reference, help guides, sample code tutorials, and more. Developers can try out your API right from your docs and see what’s working (or not) with real-time logs. Developers want to dive in and try things out, so the Try It playground lets them to do just that. Auto-generated code snippets jumpstart their integrations, and shareable links for every API request make it easy to debug issues or get support. ReadMe hubs can be public or private, so you control who has access. And when developers log into your hub, you know exactly who’s viewed a guide or made their first API call. You can even serve up custom content like API keys, just for them. The best docs are current docs, and with ReadMe it’s easy for anyone on your team to make changes. You’ll save time on updates and reduce the bottleneck around engineering, while ensuring developers always have the latest info.
