WalkthroughThe JSON API documentation now uses a consistent heading hierarchy, includes client library references, expands palette and effect details, documents sensors, and replaces the API route list with a route contents table. ChangesJSON API documentation
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR updates JSON API palette documentation, but the current text can lead clients to select the wrong palette or calculate pre-16.0.0 palette IDs incorrectly; an outstanding spelling error and markdown-lint issue also remain. Merge should wait for these bounded fixes or explicit owner acceptance. Suggested reviewers: Poem

cpalcount counts occupied ID slots including gray placeholders (json.cpp). The in-UI palette editor is a 16.0 feature. Loading stops after 20 missing files in a row (WLED_MAX_CUSTOM_PALETTE_GAP). Align the features page file limit with 16.0.

Pushed 7dde6ef after a final review pass, small refinements only: cpalcount counts occupied ID slots including the gray placeholders that fill file-numbering gaps (json.cpp), in-UI palette creation is scoped to 16.0, noted that loading stops after 20 missing files in a row, and cross-linked /features/palettes, aligning that page's palette0.json through palette9.json wording with the 16.0 limits while at it. |
