+"""Utilities for handling API response values.
+
+Many APIs return boolean values as strings (``"true"``, ``"false"``)
+rather than native JSON booleans.  The Mattermost ``/api/v4/config/client``
+endpoint is a notable example.  These helpers handle both string and
+boolean responses safely.
+
+Usage::
+
+    from devx.utils.api import is_truthy, is_falsy
+
+    if not is_truthy(config.get("EnableOpenServer")):
+        raise ValueError("EnableOpenServer not enabled")
