Introducing Spring Auto REST Docs

Discover how Spring Auto REST Docs, an extension to Spring REST Docs, can streamline your documentation process and improve its quality. Learn about the benefits of automatically documenting request and response parameters using tests, introspection, and Javadoc. Explore the advantages of tightly coupling code and documentation, making it easier to add and maintain up-to-date documentation as your platform evolves. Gain insights into the practical implementation of this approach through a real-life system example, and understand how to leverage tests, bean validation, and Javadoc in conjunction with AsciiDoc to generate comprehensive documentation. This 41-minute conference talk from Spring I/O 2017 in Barcelona provides instructions on using the extension and discusses the pros and cons of the proposed methodology.
