# Spring REST Docs [![Build status][1]][2]
|
|
|
|
## 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][3] with auto-generated
|
|
examples produced with the [Spring MVC Test][4] framework. The result is intended to be
|
|
an easy-to-read user guide, akin to [GitHub's API documentation][5] for example, rather
|
|
than the fully automated, dense API documentation produced by tools like [Swagger][6].
|
|
|
|
For a broader introduction see the Documenting RESTful APIs presentation. Both the
|
|
[slides][7] and a [video recording][8] are available.
|
|
