Master Microservices with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud - Step 22 – Enhancing Swagger Documentation with Custom Annotatio

The video tutorial covers the process of enhancing Swagger API documentation. It begins with an overview of Swagger and the need for improvements in API info and contact details. The tutorial then explains how to configure producers and consumers for JSON and XML formats. It also highlights the importance of adding detailed descriptions to the user model using annotations. Finally, the video emphasizes the significance of comprehensive API documentation for effective API consumption.

• Including contact details

• Adding a new API endpoint

• Removing validation rules

Which file is modified to enhance the API info in Swagger?

• Swagger config file

• User model file

• API endpoint file

• Database config file

What is the purpose of setting up default API info?
