New Configuration Schema docs.json

We’ve introduced a new docs.json schema as a replacement for mint.json, to support better multi-level versioning, easier visual comprehension, and more consistent terminology. For more information on what’s changed, check out our blog.Upgrade from mint.json to docs.json with the following steps:
  1. Make sure your CLI is the latest version
npm i mintlify@latest -g
  1. In your docs repository, run
mintlify upgrade
  1. Delete your old mint.json file and push your changes

CI Checks

Automatically lint your docs to find broken links, discover spelling and grammar issues, or enforce writing styles with your own Vale config. Learn more in our docs.
