Undocumented APIs pose significant challenges in software development for several reasons:
|
|
|
|
* *Lack of Clarity:* developers struggling to understand how to use the API correctly. This can lead to misuse and unexpected results.
|
|
|
|
* *Increased Development Time:* developers spending extra time reading and understanding the source code, which slows down the development process.
|
|
|
|
* *Error Prone:* developers are more likely to make mistakes that lead to bugs or system crashes when the intent or the error handling of an API is not clear.
|
|
|
|
* *Difficult Maintenance and Updates:* developers may not understand the existing functionality well enough to add new features without breaking the existing ones.
|
|
|
|
* *Poor Collaboration:* collaboration, when there is lack of documentation, leads to confusion and inconsistencies.
