Smart-doc A Powerful Tool for API Documentation Generation

Smart-doc is a tool that simultaneously supports the generation of JAVA REST API and Apache Dubbo RPC interface documentation. Smart-doc automatically analyzes and generates API interface documentation by leveraging interface generics and javadoc comments, without using any annotations to invade the business code. Just introduce the maven or gradle plugin provided by smart-doc in the project, and then write the javadoc comments according to the specifications to generate the API documentation. At the same time, smart-doc also supports the generation of documents in standards such as openapi and postman, which can be directly imported into related tools for testing after generation.

It has currently been used by well-known companies such as Xiaomi, iFLYTEK, Tongcheng Travel, Kuaishou, Mafengwo, and SF Express in China.

Important Update Contents

  • Added support for Jackson framework's JsonFormat.
  • Fixed the bug of incorrect custom sequence sorting of interfaces specified by `@order`.
  • Based on the SPI mechanism, opened the parsing extension ability of smart-doc to support enterprises to extend and parse internal custom Java Web frameworks.
  • The community reconstructed the official documentation based on vitePress.

After this version iteration, enterprises can extend smart-doc to complete the parsing of some internal custom web frameworks without modifying the official source code and plugins of smart-doc, and still ensure that there is no code related to the stable generation framework in the online product.
