DocDriven

DocDriven is a documentation-driven API development platform that acts as a single collaborative workspace for designing, building, and maintaining high-quality APIs. It unifies API design, real-time collaboration, mock servers, AI-assisted code generation, changelog history, and integration with your code repositories to reduce misalignment, breaking changes, and communication overhead across backend, frontend, UI design, and product teams.

Overview

DocDriven provides an intuitive visual editor for API design that minimizes YAML fatigue, speeds up iteration cycles with real-time collaboration, and ensures a single source of truth for all API documentation and design decisions. It automatically generates mock servers, boilerplate code, and changelogs, and supports publishing changes back to your repositories as pull requests.

Key Benefits

• Align teams across the API development lifecycle (backend, frontend, designers, product managers)
• Design APIs faster with a visual editor and autocomplete suggestions
• Real-time collaboration to reduce meetings and miscommunication
• Immediate feedback with mock servers to prototype endpoints
• Automated boilerplate code generation that respects your coding conventions
• Automatic changelogs and history tracking to communicate changes clearly
• Seamless code generation and publishing of API changes to repositories

How to Use DocDriven

1. Start with your API design using the visual editor to define endpoints, request/response schemas, and metadata. The editor provides autocomplete and suggestions based on existing properties to accelerate design.
2. Leverage real-time collaboration to gather input from teammates and stakeholders directly within the workspace. Review proposals and provide feedback before implementing changes.
3. Test and prototype with mock servers that are created instantly from your API designs. Start testing endpoints without writing any backend code.
4. Auto-generate boilerplate code that adheres to your coding standards. DocDriven can generate code from your designs and wire it into your repositories as pull requests.
5. Publish and track changes with automatic changelogs that document API design modifications. Review and merge changes when ready.
6. Maintain a single source of truth for all API documentation, designs, and conversations in one place, accessible to all stakeholders.
