I have created a web rest API using Spring boot and I would like to generate a swagger page with the APIs documentation. How can I do that?
There is a Spring project dedicated to this: https://springdoc.org/.
You can annotate your classes and an OpenAPI document will be generated from them.
The OpenAPI document can be consumed in many ways (one of those is the Swagger UI, another is to generate clients from it).

I have one spring boot application having three spring cloud function which I am able to execute via postman or curl successfully .Now my next step is to add swagger documentation for the same. I have followed all configuration that we do to add swagger with normal spring boot project. And it is up and running but problem is that my functions URL are not listed in swagger since Request Mapping or API operations annotations are not getting picked up maybe those are just functions not a controller that's y. So if someone could help how to integrate so i can document all cloud functions that I am creating.
I have been using swagger for a while with spring boot applications. It is very easy with spring since i only have to specify the package info.
But recently i was going through a few documents on how to integrate swagger with JAX-RS, i found it requires more involvement from developer by specifying api information's on a JSON.
Do we have any other solution?
I am using java spring boot framework to create REST api for my project and I am using "springfox-swagger2 and springfox-swagger-ui" for generating swagger documentation. I am able to see my documentation using the url http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui.html.
How can I generate swagger.json / spec.json to a file without launching web url? I am planning to create client classes also in same build using this json.
Info about technologies available here:
Spring REST Docs link
Rest Assured link
Ktor backend link
Main question is:
Can I generate documentation with json payloads for ktor backend like I did it for Spring backend using Spring Rest Docs
Spring Rest Docs uses unit tests technique to generate json payload and descriptions snippets. This snippets in asciidoctor style used later for including to handwritten documentation.
Is there a way that make Spring generate documents of all my rest APIs automatically and set it as the error page?
Spring REST Docs is the tool to help you to produce documentation for your RESTful services that is accurate and readable.
An alternative is swagger, with the swagger annotion, it is eaiser to integrate with existing RESTful services and generated the swagger UI page.
Then customize the spring boot error page
