Updated
Dub Vocabulary is a controlled vocabulary published by Dub on the APIs.io network, defining 19 terms.
Defined terms include link, domain, workspace, analytics, and event.
A controlled vocabulary pins the words an API’s schemas, parameters and documentation use to one agreed definition each — the shared language a human or an agent needs to read the API the same way its authors do.
