What does 'machine-readable' really mean? - FIX API Specifications

In this episode, Chris Lees talks about machine-readable documentation, and what that really means?

At FixSpec we talk a lot about machine-readable documentation, or electronic documentation. For most firms, documentation means a PDF or a Word Document. A human-readable document that you share with customers so that they can connect and conform with your API. When we talk about machine-readable, however, quite often people think about XML or JSON documentation, and their natural tendency is to think, well that's a config file and not human-readable.

When we talk about machine-readable documentation what we are really talking about is a single document that is both machine, and human-readable.
