Summary:
The documentation exhibits mild Windows bias, primarily through the explicit mention of Windows-centric tools (Visual Studio, PowerShell's Invoke-RestMethod) as recommended options for testing REST API requests. These tools are listed before or instead of cross-platform or Linux-native alternatives. No Linux or cross-platform command-line tools (such as curl or httpie) are suggested, and no Linux-specific examples are provided. However, the majority of the documentation is platform-neutral, focusing on Azure Data Factory UI and JSON configuration.
Recommendations:
- When suggesting tools for testing REST APIs, include cross-platform and Linux-native options such as 'curl' and 'httpie' alongside Visual Studio and PowerShell.
- Rephrase the tip to present tool options in a platform-neutral order, e.g., 'You can use tools like curl, httpie, PowerShell's Invoke-RestMethod, Visual Studio, or a web browser to validate.'
- Wherever possible, provide example commands for both Windows (PowerShell) and Linux/macOS (bash/curl) environments.
- Review other documentation pages for similar tips or examples and ensure Linux parity in tool recommendations and sample commands.
