Any Springfox alternatives out there? [closed]

Question

Last two years I worked on Spring Boot Applications with Springfox. Springfox generate a documentation and a test ui for your REST API. This was awesome.

But actually Springfox project is dead and do not support the newest Spring. I have three questions

1. Is there any other way to generate Swagger UI directly? Any other library/project?
2. How do you implement swagger ui into your Spring Boot project?
3. Maybe im outdated, is there a much more better alternative to the swagger staff for Spring Boot?

Answer 1

I haven't tried it myself yet, but this looks quite promising:

https://github.com/springdoc/springdoc-openapi

OpenAPI 3.0 is the successor of Open API 2.0 (sometimes referred to as Swagger, though that is actually the tooling around Open API). Not sure how much this project offers in terms of customization and how mature it is, but I guess it's worth a try ;-)

Update:
Since version 3, Spring Fox offers support for Open API 3. Please see the release log for more details.

Answer 2

Spring doc Open API is alternative going forward.

1. SpringDoc OpenAPI supports OAS 3.0
2. Supports more annotations like @MatrixParam which was not supported in springfox.
3. Spring boot 2.2.x works only with springdoc.
