Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias: command examples use Windows-specific syntax (cmd 'set' for variables, caret '^' for line continuation), Windows paths for jq, and PowerShell is the only scripting language shown. There are no Linux/macOS shell examples for variable setting, line continuation, or jq invocation, making it harder for non-Windows users to follow. Windows tools and patterns are mentioned first and exclusively, with no Linux equivalents provided.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS shell examples for all curl commands, including variable setting (e.g., 'export'), line continuation (using '\'), and jq usage (e.g., 'jq .id').
  • Show Linux-friendly jq invocation (e.g., 'jq .id' instead of 'C:\HDI\jq-win64.exe .id').
  • Include Bash or shell script examples alongside PowerShell, especially for variable assignment and command chaining.
  • Explicitly mention how Linux/macOS users should adapt the examples, or provide side-by-side Windows and Linux/macOS sections.
  • Avoid Windows-centric phrasing like 'This example is based on a Windows environment' unless immediately followed by Linux/macOS alternatives.
