For enabling Swagger in SpringBoot 2.7 what are the advantages/disadvantages of choosing springdoc-openapi over Springfox
1 Answers
This might be considered opinion-based, but actually there are facts supporting the usage of springdoc over Springfox. Some of them:
- springdoc is a much more recent library that does not have so much legacy code as Springfox.
- As a consequence of the first one, springdoc is actually updated regularly and the amount of open issues is relatively small (only 11 vs 270 on Springfox).
- It simply works easily and without major issues in the most recent Spring Boot versions.
- Springfox seems abandoned, to say the least.
At least this is my view.
