Upgrading

Minimum Supported Versions

  • AsciidoctorJ 3.0

  • Bean Validation 3.1

  • Hibernate Validator 9.0

  • JUnit 6.0

  • Spring Framework 7.0

REST Assured

Spring REST Docs' REST Assured integration has been removed as, at the time of release, it was not compatible with Groovy 5.

Deprecations from Spring REST Docs 3.0

Classes and methods that were deprecated in Spring REST Docs 3.0 have been removed.

New and Noteworthy

Nullability

JSpecify nullability annotations have been added. If you use a null checker in your build or use Kotlin, this allows null-safety problems to be detected at compile time.

Jackson

Jackson 3 is now used for Spring REST Docs' JSON processing

Improved Link Extraction

Official HAL and HAL-FORMS media types are now supported when extracting links in a hypermedia API.
