Developers using Facebook’s API have something to cheer about as the social networking giant has improved its reference documentation by automatically updating and generating the docs straight from the source code. So any changes made to APIs and methods will be instantly reflected in the documentation, which means Facebook engineers can now spend less time trying to apply fixes and making changes with the docs and more time building out the platform.

The announcement about the new change was posted on Facebook’s developer blog on December 6 (Thursday). As of December 7, the FQL, Android SDK and iOS SDK reference docs can be accessed in the new format. Documentation for the Graph API and other aspects of the platform is soon to follow (or it may probably already have by the time you read this).

Aside from the revamped format, Facebook has also added a more intuitive navigation structure to its developer site making it much easier for browsing. You can check out the new documentation.
