API Documentation

Swagger is the most popular tool for designing, building, and documenting RESTful APIs. It has been created by SmartBear, the designers of a very popular tool for SOAP Web Services, SoapUI.

The integration between Spring Boot and Swagger 2 is realized by the Springfox project. It examines application at runtime to infer API semantics based on Spring configurations, class structure, and Java annotations. To use Swagger in conjunction with Spring, we need to add the following two dependencies to the Maven pom.xml and annotate the main application class with @EnableSwagger2:
