| # API Development |
| |
| This document is a top-level entry point to documentation related to developing |
| APIs for Fuchsia. |
| |
| ## What this covers |
| |
| Although the documentation in this directory applies to all Fuchsia APIs, it |
| will be enforced for the _public facing surface area_ of Fuchsia: the Fuchsia |
| APIs that are surfaced to developers via IDK releases. All public facing API |
| changes will be reviewed by the [API Council][api-council] for consistency with |
| these guidelines. |
| |
| ## Rubrics |
| |
| The documentation in this directory comes in the form of _rubrics_, which are |
| established protocols for how to design and build APIs. Note that the list |
| below is not complete: as Fuchsia evolves, more rubrics will be added. |
| |
| * [API Documentation](documentation.md) |
| * [CLI and GUI tools](tools.md) |
| * Languages |
| * [C API Readability](c.md) |
| * [Dart API Readability](dart.md) |
| * [FIDL Style][fidl-style] |
| * [FIDL API][fidl-api] |
| * Domain-specific areas |
| * [Zircon System Interface](system.md) |
| * [Fuchsia Device Interface](device_interfaces.md) |
