Summary
The documentation provides code examples for generating SAS tokens in multiple programming languages, including PowerShell and Bash. However, PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is given a dedicated section and a full example, and is placed before Bash. There is also a strong presence of .NET/C# and references to Windows-centric tools and patterns (e.g., HttpUtility, PowerShell), while Linux-native tools and workflows are less emphasized. The Bash example is present but appears after PowerShell, and there are no explicit Linux command-line or shell environment instructions outside of Bash. There are no explicit Linux GUI or CLI tool references, and the sample links are .NET-focused.
Recommendations
  • Reorder the code examples so that Bash (Linux shell) appears before PowerShell, or present them side-by-side to avoid implying a Windows-first workflow.
  • Include more Linux-native command-line examples and references, such as using curl, openssl, or other common Linux utilities for token generation and management.
  • Add explicit instructions or notes for Linux users, such as package installation commands for required tools (e.g., jq, openssl).
  • Provide sample links or references for non-.NET SDKs (e.g., Java, Node.js, Python) and include Linux usage scenarios.
  • Where Windows-specific tools or APIs are mentioned (e.g., HttpUtility), provide Linux/Unix equivalents or note any cross-platform considerations.
  • Ensure that all code samples are tested and runnable on both Windows and Linux, and clarify any platform-specific differences.
