 API Notation is a language-agnostic notation to share the public API of components in code. It was created to standardize software specification documents in teams that need to review code across several languages.
 
-The notation consists of one or more `definitions`, and `comments`
+```
+// Anything after two forward slashes is a comment
+NameOfClass.WithPossibleNamespace
+   + class property
+   - instance property
+  ~> listened events (socket)
+  +> listened events (class/module)
+  -> listened events (instance)
+  <~ dispatched events (socket)
+  <+ dispatched events(class/module)
+  <- dispatched events (instance)
+  :: class method
+   # instance method
+
+Other symbols
+  => returns
+  #> throws
+[xx] optional
+<xx> data type
+
+Recommended order: class first, then sockets, then instance. Internally:
+Properties, events, methods.
+```
+
+Or, with some examples:
 
 ```
 // Definitions start with object / module / class names, with namespaces
