Overview

Springfox is a suite of Java libraries for automating the generation of machine and human readable specification for JSON APIs written with Spring Framework. Springfox works by examining an application, once, at runtime to infer API semantics based on Spring configurations, class structure and various compile time java annotations.

The primary API configuration mechanism is springfox.documentation.spring.web.plugins.Docket.
