Summary of Changes
Hello @jp-ayyappan, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
This pull request significantly enhances the authorization SDK documentation to improve developer experience and address community feedback. It focuses on resolving API version inconsistencies in code examples, streamlining the documentation's learning flow, adding comprehensive JavaScript/TypeScript support, and integrating best practices for performance, security, and error handling. The changes aim to provide clearer, more consistent, and production-ready guidance for integrating authorization into applications.
Highlights
- API Consistency: Migrated code examples from mixed v1/v2 APIs to consistent v2 API usage, resolving previously broken examples and ensuring compatibility.
- Improved Documentation Structure and Flow: Introduced a new comprehensive guide (
authorization-improved.mdx) with a progressive learning approach, starting with conceptual explanations like 'Entitlements vs. Decisions' before presenting code examples. - Expanded Language Support: Added complete JavaScript/TypeScript examples, ensuring consistent and comprehensive code coverage across Go, Java, and JavaScript for all major authorization patterns.
- Best Practices and Integration Guidance: Incorporated crucial guidance on performance optimization, security considerations, robust error handling, and practical integration patterns such as middleware examples.
- Detailed Documentation Analysis: A new document (
AUTHORIZATION_DOC_IMPROVEMENTS.md) was added to detail the identified issues with the existing documentation and outline the comprehensive plan for its improvement.

Code Review
This pull request does an excellent job of overhauling the authorization SDK documentation, addressing API inconsistencies, and adding comprehensive examples for Go, Java, and JavaScript. The new authorization-improved.mdx guide is well-structured and a significant improvement. My review focuses on ensuring the new code examples are complete and runnable for developers. I've identified a few places where imports are missing in the Go and Java setup snippets, and a minor issue with an undefined variable in one of the Go examples. Addressing these points will make the documentation even more helpful and prevent compilation errors for users.

Code Review
This pull request provides a significant improvement to the authorization SDK documentation, fixing API version inconsistencies and adding comprehensive examples for multiple languages. The new documentation is well-structured and much more helpful for developers. My review focuses on further improving the clarity, consistency, and correctness of the new code examples in the docs/sdks/authorization.mdx file. I've suggested corrections for some minor typos, inconsistent API usage patterns, a misleading code comment, and a problematic error handling example.

Code Review
This pull request is a great step forward in improving the documentation and fixing API inconsistencies. The new authorization.mdx guide is comprehensive and well-structured. My review focuses on a few key areas to ensure consistency across all code examples:
- Updating remaining Java examples from the v1 to the v2 API to match the Go examples and the PR's goal.
- Completing the language examples in the new documentation for sections that currently only show Go code.
- Standardizing the code formatting in Java examples for better readability.
Addressing these points will make the documentation even more valuable for developers.

✅ Resolved in commit 08cabbe Issue: Java GetDecision example was using outdated v1 Fix: Updated
Now matches the Go example and maintains API version consistency across all languages. Resolves review comment: #140 (comment) |

✅ Resolved in commit 08cabbe Issue: Java GetEntitlements example was using v1 API instead of v2 API with Fix: Updated
Now consistent with Go example and new documentation in Resolves review comment: #140 (comment) |

✅ Resolved in commit 08cabbe Issue: Java code indentation was inconsistent across examples (8-space vs 4-space continuation indent). Fix: Standardized all Java method chaining to use 4-space continuation indent in Before: SDK sdk = builder.platformEndpoint(platformEndpoint)
.clientSecret(clientId, clientSecret)
.useInsecurePlaintextConnection(true)
.build();After: SDK sdk = builder.platformEndpoint(platformEndpoint)
.clientSecret(clientId, clientSecret)
.useInsecurePlaintextConnection(true)
.build();Now all Java examples use consistent 4-space indentation for better readability. Resolves review comment: #140 (comment) |

✅ Resolved in commit 08cabbe Issue: Several sections were missing Java and JavaScript examples, only showing Go code. Fix: Added comprehensive Java and JavaScript examples to all missing sections in ✅ Entitlements with Scope (was line 215+)
✅ Bulk Authorization Decisions (was line 401+)
✅ Token-Based Authentication Example (was line 482+)
All sections now have complete Go, Java, and JavaScript coverage for better developer experience. Resolves review comment: #140 (comment) |

Code Review
This pull request provides a significant improvement to the authorization SDK documentation, migrating examples to the v2 API and adding comprehensive guides for Go, Java, and JavaScript. The changes are well-structured and address the key issues outlined in the description, such as API version inconsistencies and missing language support. The new authorization.mdx guide is particularly valuable.
I've found one minor issue in a Go code sample within the new documentation. My detailed feedback is in the review comments. Overall, this is a great contribution to improving the developer experience.

Code Review
This pull request does a great job of improving the authorization SDK documentation and fixing API version inconsistencies. The new documentation is much more comprehensive and provides valuable examples for Go, Java, and JavaScript. I've identified a few areas with opportunities for improvement, including some minor inefficiencies in code samples, a critical bug in a JavaScript example, and some remaining API inconsistencies in the Go examples. Addressing these points will further enhance the quality and correctness of the documentation.
- Fix Go error handling example to use v2 API (authorizationv2.GetDecisionRequest) - Fix Go constant in decision example (authorization.DecisionResponse_DECISION_PERMIT) - Add note explaining getEntitlementsWithScope uses v1 API for WithComprehensiveHierarchy feature - Improve Java example efficiency by storing decision in local variable Addresses critical issues with incorrect Go API types and constants that would cause compilation errors for developers following the documentation.
…mple - Add Entity_CategorySchema to the import statement in get_decision.mdx - Fixes runtime error when Entity_CategorySchema.SUBJECT is used on line 244 - Addresses GitHub PR comment #2278054492 This ensures the JavaScript code sample will run without import errors.

The architecture documentation is updated to make the OpenTDF services the primary focus. The diagram and narrative now lead with OpenTDF components, referencing the NIST ABAC model as the underlying framework. This change improves clarity by centering the explanation on the platform's concrete services while still highlighting its standards-based design.
This commit completely revises the architecture documentation with a new structure and improved content based on extensive feedback. The key changes include: - **Narrative Focus:** The document is now centered on the OpenTDF components, with the NIST ABAC model used as supporting context rather than the primary structure. - **New Diagram:** A new, portrait-oriented Mermaid diagram is used to improve readability on standard screens. - **Clickable Elements:** The nodes in the Mermaid diagram and the section headings for each component are now linked to their respective documentation pages for easier navigation. - **External Links:** The text now includes links to the NIST homepage and their official guide on ABAC for further reading. - **Layout:** The page now uses a single-column layout with the diagram presented above the explanatory text.
