Document RESTful services using Asciidoctor and Spring MVC Test

Spring REST Docs

Overview

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.
