Description

Hi, y'all 👋 (Node.js project here). We are rewriting our API docs infrastructure and tooling, which will allow us to change the format of the .json files we generate within our API docs tooling.

The new project being crafted is https://github.com/nodejs/api-docs-tooling. It will contain numerous QoL updates and changes to how things are generated.

This includes our JSON-generated API docs, which are used here https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/tree/master/types/node/scripts/generate-docs to generate the TypeScript types within this repository (and which is used for @types/node)

We will make a few changes to the current format, as this opens the possibility of improving the structure of said types. We want to collaborate with the maintainers of @types/node to understand better current pain points and what we can improve on the JSON format.

This is the issue on our side to track the JSON generation: nodejs/doc-kit#57
