Test-driven documentation for RESTful services
Test-driven documentation for RESTful services
The primary goal of this project is to make it easy to document RESTful services by combining content that's been hand-written using Asciidoctor with auto-generated examples produced with the Spring MVC Test framework. The result is intended to be an easy-to-read user guide, akin to GitHub's API documentation for example, rather than the fully automated, dense API documentation produced by tools like Swagger.
For a broader introduction see the Documenting RESTful APIs presentation. Both the slides and a video recording are available.
