Springfox is a Java library that automatically generates JSON API documentation (Swagger/OpenAPI) for APIs built with the Spring framework, including Spring Boot and Spring Data REST. It scans Spring controllers and produces interactive Swagger UI documentation from the code.
Use cases
- generate swagger docs for spring boot rest api
- auto-generate openapi specification from spring controllers
- add interactive api documentation ui to a spring app
- document spring data rest endpoints automatically
- produce swagger 2.0 / openapi 3 json for a java spring service
When to choose
- you have a Spring or Spring Boot API and want documentation generated from code with minimal configuration
- you need Swagger UI and OpenAPI JSON for existing Spring MVC or Spring Data REST endpoints
When to avoid
- starting a new project on recent Spring Boot 3.x versions, where springdoc-openapi is the actively maintained alternative
- you need cutting-edge OpenAPI 3.1 support or frequent updates
