I like React's documentation. It takes a more human approach by not only talking about the "how", but also the "why".

I’m all about efficiency, and Apidog’s API doc features hit the spot. You set it up once, and it's ready for debugging or mock testing instantly. Really cuts down on the prep work.

Stripe and Github both have really good APIS and they are well documented

Gnome public documentation. Most of stuff is extremely outdated, Links can be dead. You need to go through to git changelog to get a brief idea of what is happening. I tried my best to maintain a GJS app, Tried my best to maintain gnome extension. But alas...

Microsoft/C# has some pretty bad official documentation IMO

I find all the programming documentation and api world related to the maps (but not mapbox) really not clear and outdated. Speaking about OSM, Mapnik, end so on.
