This commit updates the API to improve its extensibility and
readability.
SnippetWritingResultHandler has been replaced with a more general
purpose Snippet interface. Snippets are now provided to the main
document method using varargs rather than the various with… methods
that were previously used. As a result a custom Snippet implementation
can now be used in exactly the same way as any of the built-in
snippets:
this.mockMvc.perform(get("/"))
.andExpect(status().isOk())
.andDo(document("index-example",
links(
linkWithRel("notes").description("…"),
linkWithRel("tags").description("…")),
responseFields(
fieldWithPath("_links").description("…")),
yourCustomSnippet()));
Control of the snippets that are generated by default is now available
via RestDocumentationConfigurer:
this.mockMvc = MockMvcBuilders.webAppContextSetup(this.context)
.apply(documentationConfiguration().snippets()
.withDefaults(curlRequest(), yourCustomSnippet()))
.build();

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.
