Mapbox
Introduction
docs.mapbox.com provides technical documentation, tutorials, examples and guides for the Mapbox suite of APIs, SDKs, and libraries. Mapbox is a location services platform powering digital Mapping, Location Search and Navigation for web and mobile applications. Our commitment to best-in-class documentation means that developers are inspired and equipped to make use of our tools and software, reducing time to value and increasing total ROI.
Why nominated
Best Findability of Products in a Devportal - The landing page at https://docs.mapbox.com has all Mapbox products neatly indexed by Service Category: Maps, Search, Navigation, and Data. Users can scroll through the list to quickly get an understanding of our offering, and click to explore whatever product they are interested in using. Our developer cheatsheet provides a similar overview of products with an interactive card-based interface.
Best API Reference Documentation - All Mapbox APIs have a consistent format, build with a combination of Markdown and react.js. Each API reference is information-dense, but designed for ease of navigation, searchability, and deep-linking. The documentation for our flagship map rendering engine, Mapbox GL JS, is a notable example. The docs are compiled from the source code of the javascript library, keeping the docs up to date as the library is continuously improved, for example: https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/api/map/
Best Onboarding - For each web services API, Mapbox has created a Developer Playground, an interactive site that allows developers to experiment with the various API parameters and inspect requests and responses from a web browser, see: https://docs.mapbox.com/playground/. Playgrounds are available for our geocoding, directions, and search APIs, for our static map API, and for other tools in the Mapbox product ecosystem.
