Significant overhaul of the JSONSchema support. This currently adds the following features: - Complex nested types are exposed as descriptors with the properties pointing to them whenever necessary. - Sets are treated as unique collections. - Enums are handled as expected (enum values are listed). - Renamings via @JsonProperty are considered. - @JsonProperty(required = true) is considered and added to required properties. - Date/time types (legacy Date, JSR-310, ThreeTenBP and Joda Time) are exposed with format "date-time". - Objects with @JsonValue methods are considered to be rendered as String value. - Formats and patterns can be manually configured on MetadataConfiguration. TODOs: - Implementation polish, JavaDoc - Automatically inspect ObjectMapper to detect customizations made through Mixins and custom Serializers.
Spring Data Rest
The goal of the project is to provide a flexible and configurable mechanism for writing simple services that can be exposed over HTTP.
The first exporter implemented is a JPA Repository exporter. This takes your JPA repositories and front-ends them with HTTP, allowing you full CRUD capability over your entities, to include managing associations.

Here are some ways for you to get involved in the community:
- Get involved with the Spring community on Stackoverflow. Please help out on the spring-data-rest tag by responding to questions and joining the debate.
- Create JIRA tickets for bugs and new features and comment and vote on the ones that you are interested in.
- Github is for social coding: if you want to write code, we encourage contributions through pull requests from forks of this repository. If you want to contribute code this way, please reference a JIRA ticket as well covering the specific issue you are addressing.
- Watch for upcoming articles on Spring by subscribing to spring.io.
Before we accept a non-trivial patch or pull request we will need you to sign the contributor's agreement. Signing the contributor's agreement does not grant anyone commit rights to the main repository, but it does mean that we can accept your contributions, and you will get an author credit if we do. Active contributors might be asked to join the core team, and given the ability to merge pull requests.
Note
We disabled the github issues since we want to use JIRA as the only issue tracker. All open existing issues have been automatically imported into JIRA, so nothing was lost :)
