## What it is
I/O Docs is a Node.js web application that generates live, interactive documentation for RESTful APIs from JSON schema definitions. It renders a browser-based client where users can execute API calls, proxied through the server with formatted responses, and supports OAuth via Redis.

## Use cases
- try out REST API endpoints from documentation
- generate interactive docs from a JSON API schema
- let developers execute live API calls with OAuth
- document API methods with parameters in query, path, or header
- test POST and PUT request bodies against an API

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained tool with recent updates
- you want OpenAPI/Swagger-based documentation
- you need static or hosted documentation generation
