It’s proven time and again how much API documentation matters to your developer experience-in fact, it kind of matters more than anything else as to whether your API is adopted or not. And certainly developer experience matters to your overall bottom line. After all, in the world of the application programming interface or the API, developers are your users and therefore their user experience matters most.

Today, SmartBear sits down with Arnaud Lauret of AXA Banque (a.k.a. the API Handyman) to talk about this idea of documentation utopia and his vision of an ideal world where APIs and documentation live in perfect harmony.
