Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias primarily in its troubleshooting and testing recommendations. In the 'TIP' for testing REST requests, Windows-centric tools (Visual Studio, PowerShell's Invoke-RestMethod) are mentioned explicitly and before any cross-platform or Linux-native alternatives. No Linux/macOS equivalents (e.g., curl, httpie) are suggested, and Visual Studio is a Windows-only tool. This may lead Linux/macOS users to feel unsupported or unsure about recommended approaches for testing REST endpoints.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux/macOS-friendly tools such as curl and httpie alongside PowerShell and Visual Studio in the 'TIP' for testing REST requests.
  • List cross-platform tools first or together (e.g., 'You can use tools like curl, httpie, PowerShell's Invoke-RestMethod, Visual Studio, or a web browser to validate.').
  • Where PowerShell is mentioned, clarify that it is available on Linux/macOS, or suggest alternatives for those platforms.
  • Add example commands for curl or httpie for REST endpoint testing.
  • Review other sections for implicit Windows-first assumptions and ensure parity in tool recommendations.
