Overview

Examples communicate format and edge-case handling far better than description. Two well-chosen ones usually beat a paragraph of instructions.

In this lesson you will:

  • Show the format instead of describing it
  • Choose examples that cover the tricky cases
  • Watch for examples that bias the output

Pro Tip

Use caching and revalidation wisely to ensure your app stays fast and data remains fresh without unnecessary requests.
