Welcome to the Petstore API Documentation Template! This is a starting point for creating clear, interactive, and user-friendly API documentation.

Use this template to explore best practices in structuring your docs, showcasing endpoints, and guiding users through your API. Everything here can be adapted to fit your own product.
