In this advanced-level course, you’ll learn to create REST APIs using the Spring Framework. The course gives a detailed experience in designing, implementing, and documenting REST APIs with end-to-end features like database integration and monitoring.

Firstly, you'll set up a Spring Boot project and create fully-functional REST APIs to manage your to-do lists. Secondly, you’ll learn database integration using Spring Data JPA and consume APIs using various tools such as cURL, Postman, and the Swagger UI. Thirdly, you'll learn Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) in Spring and Unit test the APIs using Spring Framework. Lastly, you’ll learn to document APIs using Springfox and Spring REST Docs and monitor them using the Spring Boot Actuator. 

By the end of this course, you'll be confident to design, implement, and document REST APIs end-to-end using the Spring Framework, including advanced topics like AOP, Unit Testing, and Monitoring.

REST APIs with Spring, JPA, and Springfox

**Spring REST Docs** is an alternative to Swagger for documenting the REST APIs. It utilizes the Spring MVC test framework to automatically create the **#key# AsciiDoc : A text markup language to create technical content like README files and API documentation. #key#** snippets and convert them into API documentation using the **#key# Asciidoctor framework: A text processor framework that works with AsciiDoc to convert them into output formats like HTML 5 and PDF. #key#**.

Unlike Swagger, the API documentation created by Spring REST Docs is concise, well-structured, and presents information in a tidy and easy to read way. However, it doesn’t have an interface like the Swagger UI does to consume and test the REST APIs.

Let’s learn to set up and configure Spring REST docs in the todo application.
