FAQPage Schema
What is living documentation and how does it stay in sync with source code?

Living documentation is generated dynamically from source code annotations, types, and tests, ensuring it stays in sync with the codebase by automating reconciliation tests instead of relying on manual updates.

How do I automate code documentation extraction from compilation artifacts?

You can automate code documentation extraction by parsing code annotations, types, tests, and compilation artifacts to dynamically generate a living glossary and keep documentation consistent with your source code.

Do I need code parsing tools to generate a living glossary from my packages?

Yes, generating a living glossary requires code parsing and analysis tools to extract documentation from annotations, types, tests, and compilation artifacts accurately and consistently.

What's the best way to ensure documentation consistency during refactoring?

Automated reconciliation tests ensure documentation consistency during refactoring by validating dynamically extracted documentation against source code annotations, types, and compilation artifacts.

Can I use type-driven design for dynamic documentation extraction?

Yes, type-driven design and expressive naming conventions are used for dynamic documentation extraction, allowing the automated generation of living documentation directly from code elements.
