How to add Swagger to Spring Boot - Brain Bytes

Hey Kaushik..wanted to inform you that your springboot tutorials have literally changed my life ( I got a better job opportunity ) and I recommend your videos to most of my friends who want to learn about Springboot ...You are really doing great work . Always wanted to say this to you over email but never found your email I'd anywhere...Love u for your contribution to my life...May God bless you...

Swagger OpenApi is working in some of my microservices which has spring boot version 2.7.6. Others where swagger is not working has spring boot version 2.7.5. But I personally do not think it is a versioning issue. please provide me your feedback Sir.

for enabling swagger, springdoc is now more recommended than springfox.

not able to start the application is there any version mismatch for spring boot & swagger dependency

Hi Kaushik..Ur tutorials are easy to learn and understand..
U r doing a great job..
It would be more helpful if we get the documents with the same explanations so that We can refer it for the interviews easily.For the time being we can use ur video transcripts but there are some wrong translations. Is such document available in ur site or anywhere ? If you publish a book with the spring boot concepts, I am sure that one would be one of the best sellers among techies

"If there's one thing developers love, it's writing documentation" 🤣🤣🤣 that made my day man.. thanks for the vid!

Hello sir, I am getting below exception after i followe uour ste. Could you please help?

After watching any random video suggestion from your channel, I feel interested to check the next one in the connected topic. But this is sometimes difficult to find the starting, previous and next lecture in the series. Hence I request you to kindly add the playlist information in the video description or in the pinned comment. thanks.

@EnableSwagger2 is not working anymore and throws error. Could you please help here, give some updated link

Great tutorial and teaching style however, I find Spring fox very buggy especially with new versions of Spring boot and its compatibility with current Java and Spring versions. Trying to migrate to using open API instead.

Which version of spring boot you have used? Could you please tell me

Great stuff! I love how you explain the nuts and bolts. Keep up the great work!

Hi everyone, just for your kind information, this video has become stale, the springfox swagger openAPI integration is no longer maintained by the developer. So there is an open Initiative which is being widely adopted right now i.e, springdoc openAPI3, and right now it is a good mature state, you can use it.

Hi great video, I am able to get the Json format but when I try the UI for HTML I get 404. Can you please assist

Hi Kaushik, I used Jersey starter file, spring data jpa to persist data into H2 database. So, look like the dependencies added on work for spring mvc but not for jersey stack. So any suggestion? Thanks!

very cool

Did exactly same as you....But while opening swagger in browser...Unable get base URL
